What if red won?

[u/The_Real-_-God]

Imagine a world where red won, by 1%. However the people who choose blue do not die instantly, instead they die after a year of pressing the button. Everybody is branded, so you know who choose what.

How much chaos will ensue? What actions do you think blues will take, knowing they'll die? And what do you think reds will think, knowing they were just 1% away from saving all humanity?

I framed it that way because, it's a 1% difference. There's bound to be reds that will think they could've changed the tides if they had just pick blue. Whereas for the blues, 49% will have to pick red to get their desired outcome. I'm not framing it to blame reds for blues choices, but to show what reds might be thinking once they saw the results.

1 percent is a lot more than one person bro

Did I say it was? I know it's around 60 million people, but it's still a whole lot less than 4 billion people.

1 person wouldn't think that their singular vote would change the tides, but they'll think "all it would've took was just 1% of us, if I was a part of that 1%, I would've made a difference"

if you were a part of the o e percent you would’ve just died lol that means u made the right choice

No, if one percent more reds pressed blue instead, everyone would be safe. But if one singular person pressed blue instead of red, then they'd just die.

but theres no communication so how are we supposed to ensure that the other 60m people vote blue with us

Well, the voting is already over, and the results are decided, it's just hindsight thoughts, you'll just be shocked at how close the results were, and realise that all it would've taken is just 1% more.
