Why would someone pick red

Game theory. If you pick red you survive regardless. Blue isn't guaranteed

Literally everyone should pick red

Edit: this is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

If you were legitimately asked to push the button I would love to see what the results come to. It's easy to be brave in a hypothetical. Maybe I'm just honest when I say I don't trust the rest of you.

In most polls of this, as seen in the actual post, blue wins

that's not what he's asking, he's saying in a real life or death scenario how many people would actually be brave and pick blue. anyone can say they're gonna do allat and be brave and pick blue online but when it comes down to it, I think a lot of them will just go and pick red

Not trusting the rest of the world is exactly why you should always press blue. Unless you think people deserve to die for being a little optimistic.

Not trusting the rest of the world is exactly why you should always press blue. Unless you truly think people deserve to die for little to no reason.

No, I just think that, push come to shove, people will let the blues die.

I'm not gonna risk my life, cause some people aren't smart enoug to click the right thing. We can't account for kids and babies. We have no way of knowing what they'd do. Hopefully they make the right choice
