Because it's not a general exchange/global thermonuclear war. If the Soviets hit every American base, America would retaliate in kind, leading to general strategic nuclear exchange. T2K is quite clear that this did not happen. Instead, you had a ragged, piecemeal, ad-hoc exchange, leaving some strategic targets untouched while reducing others to ash. It's not terribly logical, but neither is MAD.
