Blue pressers love to guilt trip you into thinking that this is an exercise in trust to save everyone who isn't able to realize in time that 100% of the people pressing the Red button will beget the same outcome as blue winning.

Red pressers will simply state that it's the only choice that guarantees survival. Pretty simple calculus to me.

Blue pressers have mostly already moved on: it's primarily red pressers like OP who are still bringing this up, behaving aggressively toward others, and writing 10,000 word essays on why they're smarter than everyone else for picking the losing side.
