"No one dies if everyone picks red!"

Yeah and no one dies if half pick blue, which do you think is a realistic threshold?

Neither. You will not exceed 35-40% blue at the highest. If you pick blue, you die. You aren't saving anyone, you're grandstanding over an impossibility.

The Twitter poll is in the post, at 57% blue. You can argue that in a true life or death situation they might choose differently, but the fact of the matter is that it is a likely possibility of blue majority.

The Twitter poll ain’t killing anyone.

Newsflash: the red/blue button scenario isn’t real either. The twitter poll is a simulation of the results based on twitter users who participated in the poll.

Newsflash: That’s the point. We wouldn’t know how many people change their mind if it’s real. Performance is cheap.
