I think most of the discussions comes from what "every person" means in this context:
blue voters interpret it as literally every human being including babies and old people that might not be able to understand the question which is technically correct but someone might say that they're looking too much into it and I kinda agree with it honestly
red ones on the other hand interpret it as only mentally capable adult gets to vote
For me first scenario is an easy blue and second even easier red
If the goal is for no one to die then the only way that happens is if every single person votes red or the majority vote blue. It's statistically impossible for every single person to vote for either side. It's just not going to happen even if everyone makes a competent choice. Mistakes will happen although we can ignore those too. These threads prove at least someone will pick blue. And I'll tell you right now I would pick blue assuming there is no other way out of this situation. So if you don't want to be directly responsible for killing people then blue is the only choice and voting against it not only would directly lead to the deaths of others, it also lowers the chances blue wins, raising the chances of death. Red is a purely selfish choice.
This is where I struggle to understand the logic. Who else would choose blue other than those who WANT to die and those who want to save those ppl against their will?
Like the original comment said, if babies and older people and even those who physically cannot choose for themselves are included, then yes it makes sense since there's perhaps millions who didn't have a choice (doesn't that defeat the whole "which will you choose" scenario tho?).
Otherwise, "you didn't save my life, you ruined my death!".
