The bit of Nuevo New Mexico that touches Coolerado and Megasota becomes a dangerously contested land. A DMZ is set up between the Crab Army of Maryland and the Vermomster, with both sides deeply entrenched. The Hawaiian Sea Empire blockades the entire west coast, with troops from Cascadia marching through Coolerado and Nuevo New Mexico to take Hawaii’s coastland. Fish people rise from the Gulf of Nuevo New Mexico.

Thank you so much to u/Jfullr92 for all the fun we've been having, and thank you to u/ravens_path for supporting this post.

May the best State win.

Tl;dr: would you change your vote if you were guaranteed not responsible for any deaths? Would you change your vote if you had to help kill someone?

One thing I think isn’t discussed is who bears responsibility for killing people who voted blue, should they lose. For me, the main reason I vote blue is because I don’t want to feel guilty over potentially causing deaths. So here’s two alteration that change that:

For people who vote Blue: A supervillain is forcing everyone to vote. If red gets more than 50%, the villain will personally kill everyone who voted blue, meaning that people who voted red won’t be (as) responsible for any deaths. Does this change your mind to make you vote red?

For people who vote Red: A supervillain is forcing everyone to vote. If red gets more than 50%, the villain will force everyone who voted red to help kill everyone who voted blue, and kill anyone who refuses. Obviously there would be less people who voted blue if red wins, so most people will have to be in groups of 2 or 3 red killing one blue, but each red MUST participate in killing. Does this change your mind to make you vote blue?

(Very unserious)

I’m sorry, but WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? Why were you at a wife swap? Was your sister at the wife swap? Did you do it with your sister? Why are you acting like this is a perfectly normal situation???
