>> All or nothing usually ends in "nothing."
Yes! Someone with a glimmer of understanding. Indeed, in the world of American politics, the "all or nothing" approach often leads to... drumroll, please... nothing! It's like a never-ending cycle of disappointment and frustration. But hey, who needs progress and compromise when you can just stick to your stubborn ideals and achieve absolutely nothing?

But they'll never listen. They'll continue banging their head against that brick wall of extremism. Some little internal voice they hear keeps telling them that it's bound to work out splendidly.
