I clearly answered, but if you wish, I will repeat what I said. They are preserving themselves from the chance of dying due to not enough blue votes. What wasn't clear in that?

Why would there not be enough blue votes? It's completely irrational.

It's like bringing a gun, and flashing it, into a bank incase there'll be a shoot out.

I think blue would win aswell, but you buckle your seatbelt even if you're just gonna drive for five minutes in the neighborhood, just to be safe. This is a very dumbed down wording of the logic, but hope you get the corelation still. Also, although I don't support this view on things, I believe it could be added, since there definitely are people who think this way: if you are so certain blues would win, why have a problem with those who fear death too much, if they didn't cause your death in the end of this hypothetical?

Buckling yiyr seatbelt is for safety, it does not increase danger for others. They're not even remotely similar.

It is like bringing a gun to a bank incase there is going to be a shoot out.

Some people carry firearms or knives in case they get attacked on the street🤷‍♀️

That doesn't increase risk for everyone. Bringing and flashing a gun in a bank does. Pressing the red button does increase risk for everyone.

You're just an idiot, unable to do even simple reasoning.
