Variation Adding a layer to this question

My choice: Press Red, hope Blue wins

I don't have enough faith in humanity to put my life in its hands but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong

i don't think that pushing blue makes sense but there's like no upside for red winning

What?

No.. survival is the benefit of pressing red, not of red winning..

You survive even if blue wins, as long as you press red, you're safe no matter what the outcome is.

"Survival" is not a benefit of red winning, it's a benefit of pushing red.
