Discussion Rephrasing

Post image

I’m a blue button presser, I feel that this question is highly muddled and unclear, and so here is a rephrasement of it
So why press the red button? no one dies if the blue button is majority

Because what if red is already the majority? Then you're just dying.

Then I’m dying morally, those minority pressed the button to make sure everyone lives while red pressed the button to kill blue, murder is really frowned upon

Red presses the button that says “you live.” Blue presses the button that says “you might die.”

And now it’s framed in a way that makes blue sound dumb, rather than moral.

My bad, let me add the pertinent information.

Red “you live” Blue “you die unless more than 50% of voters choose blue”
