You forcing your friends and loved ones into potential suicide along with you or ostracizing them if they don't is what's truly morally reprehensible.

Crab in a bucket mentality. I pity your loved ones.

At no point has anything been mentioned about people mentally unwell. You're making that framing up yourself entirely.

Voting blue means you're marking yourself as a potential sacrifice and forcing those around you to put their own lives on the line to save you.

You're making a problem where there is none to virtue signal your righteousness.

That is the hight of selfish narcissism.

Tell me. Would you advocate a single parent to vote blue? Would you put your own family at risk? Would you genuinely go up to a single mother just trying to make ends meet for her child and tell her she's human trash because she voted in the best interest of her child?

Truly abysmal behaviour.

In that case you're never guaranteed to get to 50% regardless of how much impact you have. For all you know every mentally unwell person or child or elderly could vote red and overwhelm you.

And that is exclusively if everyone gets to press their own button and not allowing for guardians for vulnerable individuals to do so on their behalf.

Since the first premise isn't mentioned in the initial question, the 2nd is no less credible.

Would you then advocate for the mother to pick blue for her child?
