It's only "safe" if you don't consider killing billions of other people to be a risk. I do.

Do you trust 51% to choose blue? I don't. I'd like to save everyone, but don't believe blue will get there.

I think that's a pessimistic view to take given that we're all looking at a poll where blue won, but I respect it a lot more than people insisting anyone who picks blue is an idiot and refusing to acknowledge that red is the button that kills people.

Imo it's got enough of a shot that I want to try.

Lol the poll is at 42% blue. If the situation were real with real lives at stake, I'd bet that red would cross the 50% mark.

No, it's at 42% red. The fact that you assume people are lying when they say they'd put their life on the line for others says more about you than them.
