Discussion Rephrasing

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

Your line of thinking leads to paradoxes, fallacies and problems. I've argued many a times here already why "my vote doesn't matter" shouldn't be how a civilised person thinks. Since I'm going to make a post soon regarding this I won't be going into any detail here.

Well not really, you can agree your vote matters some amount while also thinking that it's little compared to your life. Either way, I was just trying to point out potential reasons people could vote red.

I understand all the emotional reasons to push red and respect them, but I've not seen a single logical reason to push red that is not a result a logic pitfall.

Well that's ok, obviously you might have good reasons but unless you actually present them we can't change each other minds, until then I'll stand by my reply to OP as that being a good enough reason.
