I want to make that part of My worldview but first I need a source

You do know that there are human beings alive today who were of voting age when Carter was President?

Do you think you could find our man an article about someone discussing Carter not being progressive enough at the time on south africa in some form of print media?

You mean, do a Google search?

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, please, do search for the correct terms to find an article to argue your point, it very much helps your argument. If there was an link to an article in your first post, this thread would have been very different.

You realize that I have no idea what sources other people find credible, or what the level of evidence would be needed.

For example, if I were to cite an article where Hunter Thompson bemoaned the lack of political sophistication of the voters, that might satisfy some people but not others.

You clearly aren't getting it and I checked the rest of your messages, so I'm rescinding my benefit of the doubt. Last comment.

So, it's okay for you to demand clarification but I can't?

Sorry to have wasted your time.

I don't have access to them, I'm in Australia. I need a source.

The Village Voice was a local New York City newspaper that covered politics and the arts.

That's not a source, that's a newspaper. Newspapers publish articles, which are sources. Cite an article.
