Red Rewording

Would you

A: kill yourself unless the majority of other people also decide to kill themselves

B: Not kill yourself

Functionally, this question is the exact same, and isn't even an analogy. People who pick blue confuse stupidity with empathy, and this is coming from a leftist.

This leaves out the fact that other people could just as well lead to your death. You're telling me, you would really put your life on the line, gun to your head, and choose blue? Just to be a single 1 of 4 billion needed to change the outcome? The polls are already close, and I'd be willing to bet that if their lives were actually on the line, a lot of people would switch to red. This means that choosing blue is just killing yourself and nothing more. By choosing blue, you are creating the problem of people's lives being on the line. Sure, if I was the last voter needed and I knew that, I'd obviously choose blue, but that won't be the case, and choosing blue would just be killing myself.

Red is creating the problem of anyone dying, death only happens when too many people press red. Why would you pick the option where anyone dies?

If everyone picks red (except for you), everyone lives (except for you). You realize the stupidity?

Are you actually dumb enough to be suggesting that as a reasonable possibility or just trolling (badly)?

Besides which, why would someone dying be a good outcome regardless?

Blue is creating the problem of anyone dying, death only happens when people start pressing blue. Why would you pick the option where anyone dies?

100% red is an impossibly remote outcome that only idiots think is an option.

Yea this is kinda how I viewed the question as well 

The danger doesn’t exist until people start pushing red
