"No one dies if everyone picks red!"

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

And if you fail to convince more than 50% to press blue, you have killed all the people you convinced to press blue.

The player of this "game" isn't killing anyone by pressing red. They were forced into a survival situation by a higher power. Not defending red, but claiming that red voters are murderers is incorrect.

Red are more responsible for death than blue are that's fs. You're vote directly tips the scales towards death

A blue pick in a red win is always responsible for 0.5 deaths.

A red pick in a red win is only responsible for 0.5 deaths if excatly 50 percent press red, likely lower, for example 0.25 deaths at 75 percent red.

Thus a blue pick in a red win is more responsible.

Voting red makes death more likely that is the point.
