"All or nothing", it turns out, is really appealing to people. It may be toxic to a functioning democracy with a diverse population, but doesn't seem to lessen the appeal.

We are very good at pretending that when we get "nothing", it is a temporary inconvenience.

It's more like that we are good at accepting this system as long as we're not the ones getting 'nothing'.
