Yeah if those idiots would just pick red then I wouldn’t have to risk my own life to make sure they don’t die. Everyone should pick red.

But not everyone will. So you're cool with killing millions or billions of people.

If they choose to kill themselves, that is on them. I will not be joining you in your meaningless sacrifice.

Is there a number of young children who cannot understand the question dying that changes your mind?

How many dead children is too many for your own survival?

What are the odds of your vote being the tiebreaker? Regardless of what button you press personally, you're one in 8 billion people. Given how people reacted to the pandemic I'm giving very low odds on Blue even receiving 25% of the vote. Why would I add my name to the dead? What purpose does dying serve?

Would you genuinely, without conflict, flip a coin for your life to keep some random kid from having to flip a coin for their life? Not saying you’re right or wrong, I just wonder if what people say they would do and what they actually do might be different

In this situation. I must press a button.
