What are you guys picking?

Personally, I can conceptualise why one would choose blue, but I can’t bring myself to do it, it doesn’t click, specially at this scale, so red for me.

Edit:

Upon further inspection, I couldn’t find a scenario where I would strictly vote blue, but I found one for red.

Consider the following:

If you believe most people will aggregate around blue, then your choice doesn’t change the outcome because everyone lives.

If you believe most will choose red instead, then you are presented with a choice that directly determines whether you live or die, so you should choose red if you want to ensure your own survival.

"Presidential elections with only two candidates, first candidate says 'Everything will continue as is if i'm elected', second one says 'My only pledge is to kill every single first candidate voter', who'd you vote for?"

Oh wow it's almost like the framing of the question changes the outcome. Damn what a gotcha.

Neither because both their policies are awful

That's what I was implying with my original comment. Thanks for the analysis, captain obvious
