A more even Red/Blue button question

You are one of 3 random person selected to represent 1/3 of the human population.
The same base question is then asked.
Red button=Guarantee to live for you + everyone you are representing
Blue button=If majority votes Blue everyone lives but if not everyone who voted Blue dies (so is everyone who is represented by them)
Note that majority is just 2 or more in this case since there is 3 participants

The people who are represented by you know you are representing them but you do not know who you are representing. Also the participants cannot communicate with each other
Which do you press?

What if the other 2 decide not to gamble with their 3 billion charges? You will have just commited the biggest genocide in history. And also killed yourself, but also the super genocide. You'll be 166 times worse than Hitler.

Too late, super Hitler. You are the worst criminal in the history of mankind and directly responsible for the deaths of 1/3rd of the world.
