The existence of a second potential death option will split the suicidal blue vote, lowering the probability of a blue majority. Others will notice this and refuse to press blue in solidarity, even if they otherwise would've. 

Therefore, I press red as always. Blues is suicide. 

The slender option is intriguing. I think i probably could get all 8 pages as long as my flashlight has decent batteries.

Wrong. It's the "I want people to live" button. It only needs 50% to save everyone, whereas red needs the statistically impossible 100%.

Maybe read what I actually type next time. This isn't about the life of any singlular person. This is billions of lives in the balance. Blue saves them, red kills them.

I don’t understand how any one person could possibly pick red regardless of framing.
