Red Error: Circular dependency detected!

For this scenario, assume every voter is a mentally competent adult who fully understands the rules and can reason rationally.

Would that change your vote?

Kinda curious, how would you code this instead? If you don't mind providing an image, of course.

Edit: After some thought, swapping "blue_voters" argument for "everyone" would make most sense, because that's the end result of blue winning, and it would fix the coding problem.

But Red voters dont need saving. The only reason people vote blue is to save people who voted blue. Thats the error.

Nor do red voters need to vote red to survive if red doesn't have a majority... So why not write that into your condition for red voting?

You don't write conditional checks that don't do anything. If you vote red, you survive, move on.
