My hypothetical is the same... "IMHO, the most intelligent national choice is pulling the levers for enviros, provided that everybody does the same to prevent the ongoing environmental disaster unfolding before us.

Except you know that the proviso isn't true. It's not true that everybody else will do the same. So it's not always intelligent to always pull the lever for enviros. Short term or long term. That's not pragmatism. If the circumstances don't exist where it would be the intelligent choice to pull the lever for an enviro, then it's not intelligent to pull the lever for the enviro in those circumstances. It's not merely the pragmatic choice - it's the intelligent choice.
