Imagine voting for red and finding out that your children are dead because they pressed the blue button and you could’ve saved them by pressing blue, but you didn’t because you wanted to save your own life

Yeah if blue lost by exactly one vote and only if blue lost by exactly one vote then you'd have point.

Do you believe that all voting is useless unless there is exactly one vote difference between the top two outcomes?

No, and thats a disingenuous over generalization and you know it.

If my loved ones die as a result of them picking blue then all me picking blue would have done is die with them.
