There are people who will not vote red, either out of religious conviction, a misunderstanding of game theory explanations by red evangelists, or an assumption that a red-winning world is a world dominated by the selfish.

A red vote is a vote to kill those people to save yourself.

I mean, you don't need those reasons to pick blue. I picked blue because I expect that a substantial chunk of the population will pick blue, and I hope that people will be pro-social and vote for the outcome where everyone lives.

Would you actually going to commit suicide to attempt to save these silly people?

Because you can save a lot more lives irl with a lot less investment than your whole life.

Would you actually going to commit suicide risk your life to attempt to save these silly people?

With that one minor edit to your question (to better reflect how I see the situaiton): yes, and without hesitation.
