People who conceptualize politics in such simplistic ways, and who cannot think strategically (rather than emotionally) have a below average IQ, or they're simply very selfish individuals who seek instant gratification and who aren't willing to work for what's important, who aren't willing to wait, who aren't capable of accepting incremental progress and seeing that it's actually progress, and who continually embrace the "all or nothing" philosophy. And guess what that always gets them! Nothing.
