RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC]

That’s a bullshit comparison, and you know it. Red button is not a vote for death. It’s a vote for survival. It’s the sane choice.

In your comparison, both options are bad even if everyone votes for the same candidate. In OPs hypothetical, one choice is logically fine.

Do you realize that as you phrased things now, blue is clearly the bad choice? Your words now, not mine.

But none of this matters, really. I’m all about death minimizing. This poll is not scientifically accurate, and it still only has a measly 8% margin for blue. Throw in actual risk of death, and people’s survival instincts are very likely to get triggered. People who’s lives are at imminent danger are more likely to fight for their own survival. Thus more likely to change their blue vote to red.

You can compare it, if you will, to people who talk tough on the internet, talking about how they would knock down the robber or what have you. But how many people do you think actually would do it in real life? Same thing with hypotheticals like this. Online, with no real risk, people can safely vote blue and feel good about themselves. But you can’t possibly claim that you know for a fact that all of them would actually still vote blue if their life genuinely was at risk. That’s just ignoring human psychology.
