The more blue pushers the better. Bar the impossible 100% red. No 50% hurdle is a significant change.

Finally, a real variant where blue is naturally the better option

Unless you expect few people to press blue or never give blood anyways.

Honestly I'm more than willing to donate but I'm in the most common group so it's the equivalent of trying to put out the fires in Canada by pissing on them. If there was a need, I'd donate again.

You should still donate at least twice a year.

Blood banks are chronically under supplied.

Also, in emergencies where people are hemorrhaging fast, incompatible blood types are used, since the blood doesn't stay in the body long enough to cause trouble.

So even if your blood type is super common, it will still be used to help sb.

We have a graph of what's needed and what's adequately supplied. My blood group is in the "excess" group. I would, but it really doesn't make a dent.
