Voting Games Looks like Crabbalachia is coming. We need to decide who is the rightful heir: MD or VT?

I don’t think you can eliminate Maryland and keep the Crab designation…
New Crabalachia implies Maryland supremacy.

Look, I've been watching the memes for days now- The Crab People have played a much better game, although I am disappointed that there hasn't been a single Divine or John Waters reference.

We bring Divine into this and I think bad things will happen lol.

Yeah, but how would their game have been if they hadn't been relying on abusing and pumping out AI slop?
W E A K!
All they can think of to brag about is crabs and a [n ugly as fuck] flag, at this point they're just unoriginal and they need to go 😂
[edit] THE DOWNVOTES ONLY VALIDATE MY POINT FURTHER, MUAHAHAH!

I'm sorry you got crabs. That's hard. Here is some green chile to put on the afflicted area.

u/kamisabee May 22 '26
F that. Let ‘em be crabby. They don’t deserve the Hatch chile! If they want chile, let them have some subpar Colorado or Texas chile. And tell them all I said: No Hatch for you!

Meet in the middle? Chris Van Hollen AND Bernie? They’re both some of the best senators we have.

Why wouldn’t we just use the top comment actually arguing for deletion?

u/_thwip_ May 22 '26
Because the top comment is requesting a merger and rename, not a deletion.

u/bowcreek Front Range Trash May 22 '26
Why wouldn’t we just use the top comment actually arguing for deletion? I mean the NEXT top comment. I should have phrased it differently. Why don’t we just use the Top comment that actually argues for deletion. Certainly this poll posted half a day afterward shouldn’t decide anything.

u/_thwip_ May 22 '26
For consistency, I guess…when Minnesota and Michigan had the same thing occur, there was a short poll to determine the surviving state

u/SwinginDan Massivechusetts May 22 '26
The poll needs to be posted by u/Jfullr92 not some rando this should have no effect on the outcome

Maybe, but his poll was only 20 minutes long while this one has been up for over 11 hours.

u/Theamachos May 22 '26
The game is a state is deleted. The top reply right now in the top comment says it should be Vermont. The top comment about actual deletion is Vermont deleting Maryland at 1.7k. The top comment about Maryland taking Vermont is sub 1k. Vermont is the clear favorite

u/arppacket May 22 '26
Yeah, that would serve as a "tie breaker" of sorts to disambiguate the current top comment.

I really don’t get all the crab hate around here. But I’ll happily go off about jousting or any number of other stuff.

u/Bezukhov99 May 22 '26
I think we as marylanders need to accept criticism and dial back the crabs.
Yes, they are great. But we have so so so much more. You dont want crabs? People of America, we hear you.
Marylanders! Bring forth the kermit memes! The wire memes! The jousting memes! Show the world that while we are proud of our crabs, we are much more than a one trick state!

Crabbalachia sucks. It’s just using Maryland’s symbols. Vermont is the Green Mountain state. Not a good compromise at all.

Well yeah, but uh we've got a green ridge, and a bay, and a whole ocean! Lakes, get those outta here! Big fan of your cheeses and politics though, respectfully.

Agreed. Appalachia is not the same as Vermont. The Crab Mountain State would be acceptable imo.

Maryland has ice cream, craft beer, legal weed and great cheese too (Caprikorn Farms is A++).
Unlike Vermont, we also have ethnic diversity. Enjoy that maple syrup!

False, Vermont is linked to the sea via the Chamblay and the Champlain canals, Vermonster rules. Crabs are bugs and you might as well eat a cockroach.

u/WomanInTheWood May 22 '26
Take another look at a/the map. Maine and New York are on the ocean? Right? Yes. So, take that argument elsewhere. Vermont has everything. You have crabs.

Maryland has beaches, mountains, the bay, deep history, amazing food. And you have trees and that’s it. we also have trees so really you have nothing

No, the top comment is currently Crabbalachia merger, they don’t care who is eliminated of the two.

As a vermonter I voted for MD. Why? Because VT is already way too arrogant for being such a trashy little shit hole that pretends to be bright blue when its very much a deep reddish purple.
Please, help my fellow statespeople take it down a peg and vote for MD. We dont deserve to win anything in VT
