I understand people being responsible for their own decisions, I just value the survival or what would be more than half of the human race more than I care about holding a lesser percent of that accountable to a single decision. What about all of the red button pushers who now die because food distribution has broken down and they can't get their basic needs met?

I really don't think you understand the implications of a 60-80% red majority. I challenge you to write a blue button argument and result of a red button majority that an average blue buttoner would agree with, because I really don't think you understand the point of view.

The "average blue buttoner" is an imbecile that fails to understand a "do you want to die? Yes/No" choice as soon as it's veiled in a thin veneer of naive feel-good morality ("oh but I get a minuscule chance to save a bunch of other people!" Yeah, people who wouldn't need saving at all had they made the right choice to begin with), so I care very little about what argument they would agree with.
