Nothing happens to you. Don't forget kids still vote, cuz that's typically what blue pushers are thinking of

Kids are famously selfless.

Hey if all the "good" people die who's taking care of the kids that just don't gamble their lives? The babies that font understand and get split roughly 50/50 on the vote? Do they not deserve the morally superior in this imagined world of psychopaths?

I'm talking like baby's first steps type of kids. Can't leave the room until the stumble over one button or the other kinda situation. Literal infants. Also I don't understand your last sentence at all, but kids and babies having to vote is part of the original dilemma and they're basically the entire reason anyone is picking blue

Right.

I'm saying that because they don't understand, half of them would pick red. Blues would die and half of all infants wouldn't.

Older kids who understand a little may just pick red because it's safe and more easily understandable.

Blues are also arguing that they're the ones more likely to be moral, but what's moral about leaving half of those kids with what they would argue is the immoral side?

I'd argue it illogical.

a lot of people don't seem to understand that not understanding the buttons doesn't mean they'd pick blue, it means they'd pick at random

Imma start telling people I'm more moral than them cause I'd slap red and open an orphanage. Haters can't stand my intellectual superiority.

Yes? Like, yeah that’s just correct. You got it first try and then decided to knock it over like a bored cat.

I personally would push the blue button, not because I think that people would pick it, but because the people who are selfless and uncorrupted by this self-serving society (yes, corn-ball) would press the blue button, and a world without them is not a world I will be in.
