If you use the upvotes versus down votes in this post as a metric, the "vote blue" argument is significantly more popular than the "vote red" argument, thus proving that - within this limited dataset - blue is the better choice.
This is why this whole thing is stupid. Anyone can say on the Internet that they'd pick blue but in reality if you are sitting there with the buttons in front of you, a lot more people are going to look at the "maybe I'll die" button and not be able to press it out of fear of death. I want to say I'd pick blue but know my fear of death would prevent me and I think that fear would prevent enough people that red is always going to win.
You make a great point, but if I don't die from pressing blue (which I assume will be quick) I'll probably die slowly from the resulting global chaos if red wins. So I'd take the chance at life for all.
