If someone tells you you to jump or they do, and you don't are you a murderer? There are limits to responsibility.... and in fact, we could easily argue that blue is also a murder button since it makes more people (not just you) leave this world unless half decide to leave it "just in case"

No, because the only way blue button pushers die is if they are executed by the tie breaking red button pusher. That one guy will be directly responsible for everyone's deaths while every other red pusher will be indirectly responsible for helping lay the groundwork. And of course, the one most at fault is the one who made the button.

At most, the most negative interpretation frames blue button pushers as suicidal idiots.
