> I think a better analogy is a group where half want to go to a really expensive lavish restaurant (UBI+Universal Healthcare+Free Housing), and the other half want to go to a local pub (safety nets, small government, private charity). They could fight over which place to go, or, just each go to their own place. No need for the expensive dinners to insist the pub-goers go with them, or for the pub-goers to begrudge the restaurant-goers their meal.
The benefits apply at country scale. So it's more like someone saying "well, I'll respect our voting and go to the fancy restaurant if that's what the rest of you want, but I'm only going to pay what a pub meal would have cost because I'd rather go to the pub" - i.e. a major dick move.
