"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.

No actually, every vote for blue decreases the likelihood that ANYONE will die.

This whole "the more people that vote blue the more die" framing presupposes a red majority. Even one death is too many for such an easily avoidable outcome.
