100% red means everyone lives, and it doesn’t require any trust or coordination to achieve.
--Yes this.
If you change it so there are hostages (people who don’t get to choose, but will die if the blue threshold isn’t met), then it becomes interesting.
-- That was actually a strongfemaleprotagonist storyline, cleaving along a difference between superheroic morality and civilian morality, then examined further as the teacher was interrogated later on.
True, but kind of misleading. Neither 50.1% blue nor 100% red are achievable (in my estimation, in any sizable population of real humans), but missing that goal by a bit is a LOT better for red than for blue.

If your true goal is “everyone lives”, then 50% blue cutoff is waaay more achievable than 100% red one.
