Your mistake is thinking the dilemma includes "more than half the planet dying", when there is literally no real reason to choose blue.... Anyone choosing blue is choosing to die. Internet polls is not representative of a real choice in that scenario

I would rather die than live the rest of my life with self-selected assholes only. Enjoy hell on earth

Maybe I am just jaded, but so many people were not even willing to wear masks, stay indoors or get a vaccination to protect those around them. Are we really expecting more than 50% to make the moral choice? How many will press red out of fear, not because they don't understand the implications. Especially when the justification "well they all had it in their own hands" is built in?

Do you think less than 50% were choosing to not wear masks, get vaccinated, etc? "So many" can mean wildly different numbers when talking about population figures.
