Okay. Let's go over what you said and what I said. In your original response you said the following: "we also fund public libraries and schools. Im not sure why healthcare is what gets people. (i am it's the constant propaganda and people want to defund libraries and schools)" I've took this as you don't understand why people like me (foreigners) are always talking about the healthcare, because I don't understand what you're trying to say afterwards. Constant propaganda about what? Healthcare? Libraries?...
I said what I said healthcare being more important than the TV channel and libraries and you responded with "Im not sure what you're saying here. I think that healthcare should be government funded, and at the same time I don't believe PBS (The Public Broadcasting Service TV channel, government funded and nonprofit, not private) should be defunded. They've created countless television series that have aided education and acceptance of other cultures.
I think that instead of taking from the US public infrastructure (Like PBS or Schools) to fund healthcare, we should be taxing corporations and billionaires more. Thats what most of the american left (the actual left not the practical right wing democrats) believe.
I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but it reads as if you believe there are Americans who are anti-socialized healthcare, but also pro-PBS. I have never seen that opinion held by any american."
So, basically you are the one who misunderstood what I'm saying and responded to me that you don't get what I'm saying. So, I tried to make it more simple by saying basically in my opinion health care is more important than a TV channel. And it should be for anyone. Which it means as I said in my original reply funds should be used to better people's lives instead of funding TV channels.
Now here we are you're blaming me that I'm trying to fight with you and I don't understand.
Let me dismantle this whole thing for you
Propaganda about socialized healthcare being bad, pushed by American Republicans. The rest of what you then go on to say is null and void due to this misunderstanding. You took something that was meant to be supportive of you and made it combative.
It really is not my fault you decided to start attacking me instead of simply asking me to clarify. It also isn't my fault that when I clarified in the two following responses what I was saying, that you further misinterpreted what I said.
I never misunderstood your point, from the start I knew that you were pro social healthcare. I was and have been agreeing this whole time. I've been trying to say that to you this whole time. I AM AGREEING WITH YOU.
Based on the upvote/downvote ratio people very clearly seemed to have understood my first response to you, and been confused by your response to me. I dont know what else you want me to say here.
Thank you, but which part of my writings you took as combative? You told me you don't get what I say. I explained what I say why I said. It seems to me you continue to act like I was in the wrong. And it was my purpose to attack your person.
