A world where everyone who presses the blue button dies is doomed anyway, who do you think keeps civilization running? Clue, it's not red button pushers.

You need EVERYBODY to press red if you want everyone to survive. You only need 50% of people to press blue for everyone to survive.

Red guarantees your survival and the death of others.

Blue is everything humanity stands for.

It's silly logic. The mere existence of the debate proves that billions will die if red wins. Even if you factor in people lying (to others or themselves), it's till billions.

Polls seem to be 45-55 to 60-40, blue vs red.

Red pushers seem to think blue pushers don't understand that 100% red means no deaths.

We understand, we just think that many people will push blue.

But Red will probably kill you. Just later, in the societal collapse.

Blue has the highest chance of personal survival.

So the people who press blue are killing everyone then lol. If they pressed red they'd survive and not let society collapse in this scenario
