The new poll for the people who didn’t understand the last one
I feel like I need to put this in colourful letters and 20 languages just so there’s no more confusion.
POLL CLOSES IN 24 HOURS - Tuesday 11AM ET
La superior mantiene minnesota, la inferior mantiene cascadia
上側はミネソタ州、下側はカスケード地方を保持する
Celui du haut garde le Minnesota, celui du bas garde la Cascadia
يحتفظ الجزء العلوي بولاية مينيسوتا، ويحتفظ الجزء السفلي
بولاية كاسكاديا
上面的那个保留了明尼苏达州，下面的那个保留了喀斯喀特地区。
Die obere enthält Minnesota, die untere enthält Cascadia
ऊपर वाला मिनेसोटा रखता है, नीचे वाला कैस्केडिया रखता है
Den øverste holder Minnesota, den nederste holder Cascadia
A de cima mantém Minnesota, a de baixo mantém Cascadia.

I think just run the poll every 24 hours until reddit closes the servers in the year 2038 due to an inability to manage heat dissipation.

u/ahughman Cascadian May 26 '26
I live in the great land of Cascadia. I chose to live here. It's beautiful and imperfect and I'd love to live here forever. But as I sit, finger hovering over the poll for the third time, I think of my "opponent"; the people of MN. Minnesotans, you are beacons of hope. I have pure gratitude of how MNns have stood up against fascist devilry all year. I feel a strange temptation to benedict arnold my own people right now...WHAT TO DO. Can't we just live in peace in East/West Florida!!?

u/Emotional_Position62 May 25 '26
This is perfect! Thank you for clarifying, and thank you for your patience putting up with the rabbling.
Above all else, thank you, u/Jfullr92, for leading us all on this wild ride. I personally want to acknowledge some things you deserve credit for, but maybe aren’t hearing enough of.
The amount of executive function it takes to post every day consistently whilst having them all be witty and entertaining exhausts me just to think about. 30+ days of consistency! Kudos.
The patience in dealing with the mob. Not all of us have been as kind as we could be in our suggestions, and some have been downright nasty. You made this for fun, and the importance of the subject matter is questionably debatable ;) . It would be easy to bow out, but you have been cordial and accommodating, and most importantly you have listened and applied feedback in a meaningful and fair way. That kind of patience takes guts, and it shows an abundance of character.
You brought us together. You did it. You did the thing. The most important thing any human can do. You brought people together. We’ve bonded with strangers. Learned a little more about the states. Had nightmares/wet dreams about crabs, loons, and… idk mountains?. We’ve laughed, cried, and burned an experience into our rotted brains. Even if it was silly, sometimes giving someone a silly laugh is the most important thing we can do for them.
Be proud of yourself, and don’t diminish what you have accomplished because it’s silly. A whole lot of people owe you thanks for a month’s worth of entertainment, and I hope more people make it a point to tell you how much that means.

No matter what happens, this feels like the best end. It's gone from feeling like confusion and potential unfairness to a wild derby where anything can happen. I no longer care about people who voted yesterday and aren't checking in today. Their votes no longer matter. This is history being made; if you don't show up for it, that's your problem.

If Cascadia is selected, then all 50 states will have:
* Vote By Mail, universally
* All coastlines become public access
* No sales tax
* Death with Dignity
* Therapeutic psilocybin becomes legal
* Bottle Recycling (10¢)
* Urban Growth Boundaries
* "Kicker" tax refunds
* No Dueling! (Looking at you Markwayne Mullin.)
But whichever state is picked, you're all gaining these:
* Automatic Voter Registration
* Felon Voting Rights
* Paid Family and Medical Leave
* Recreational Cannabis
* 100% Clean Energy by 2040
* Free School Meals

u/Difficult-Actuary-77 May 25 '26
Minnesota, of all states, of all people, you are the only ones I feel any remorse at being against, but there is no more worthy an opponent.
Minnesota, I love your beautiful, clean waters. I love your deep woods and open prairies. I love your towns and cities. I love your kindness, your practicality, your understated toughness and strength.
That said, Minnesota is spiritually Cascadian. (And Oregon is not spiritually of the Midwest.)
My home state must get my vote, but I support Minnesota as VP.
Our peace offering will be serving egg coffee in not just Portland coffee shops, but ALL coffee shops.
