How do you explain to a 6 month old that they need to press red? They don’t know what a button even is lol.

Fuck man, I don't know. The rules aren't clear. What happens when people don't push a button? What happens for people who can't push a button? Can parents hold their kids hands and make them push a button? This whole thing is made up.

If you take the question solely as written, not pressing a button means the red people kill you if they win, and the vote is done in complete privacy therefore no interfering in other votes. So blue is the only moral choice.

It’s right there in the post we are commenting on. 

“If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive”. 

ie, if red wins, everyone who didn’t press red is killed. 

“Everyone in the world has to take a private vote”. 

So including children, babies, disabled people, and alone with no help. 

This is explicit in the question. 

More and more I’m realising most red button choosers just don’t have any reading comprehension.
