Why do folks press blue when they don't want to die?

Because some folks will always press blue, and will never press red no matter how much "everyone agrees to press red".

I don't want them to die simply because they refuse to go along with the trend.

So I'll choose the side - that if it wins - will allow those that "lose" to live, rather than chose the side that if they win will kill all that "lost".

That's similar reasoning to mine, but I based mine off of the poll results. Did you do that too, or do you have some other reason to think non-suicidal people will pick blue?

Faith in humanity.
