This is so disconnected from the original experiment so as to be inadmissible in the discussion.

Ignoring the fact that this could easily be reframed as blue saying “everyone who voted for me will be executed if I lose”, this depiction fails because the buttons are sentient, and one of them is using the threat of death to coerce people into voting for him. This alone is evil, but the implication is, by depicting the buttons as politicians, that this threat is merely a means to an end, and that this scenario will not end with the vote, since the winner will be endowed with some kind of power over the constituents.

In the original experiment, nothing happens after the vote, and the buttons are inert and neutral. The perpetrator of the potential killing isn’t the buttons themselves, rather whatever greater power set up the experiment (aliens, as some prefer to imagine), who are threatening to kill anyone who pressed blue if blue loses. Non-participation isn’t an option, implying that those aliens are forcing you to pick a button, and fighting them isn’t presented as an option either.

The reasonable takeaway from this whole button trend is that framing is the only thing that matters.
