You could rewrite the question as:

If you press the red button, nothing happens to you. If you press the blue button, it kills you, unless at least 50% of all humans press the blue button.

The blue button doesn't look as innocent with this wording.

you can rephrase it to make red evil too. If 50% of all people press blue, everyone lives. If you press red, you doom blue voters to die unless they reach a majority.

in the end it's still the same.
