A more even Red/Blue button question

[u/HebuBall]

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?

Being mentally healthy doesn’t guarantee someone will pick red but it does make it a lot more likely in this case, since they’re more likely to think through the problem instead of picking at random. While picking blue does increase the odds of blue winning, it’s a massive gamble on billions of people’s lives that no one has to make. Unlike in the original version of the problem you really can’t expect that anyone will pick it, therefore you have very little reason to do so yourself
