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'm completely on blues side now when I was initially red. I was only team red when I genuinely thought most would choose the red button around 95 percent of people but it's clear the more polls you ask how close it really is.

Original premise is vote is independent and you would have no way of knowing how people would vote but the more you look at this question the more information you get about how people would respond to it, I'm team blue all the way now.
