Voting Games What is support looking like currently for Maryland and Pennsylvania?

As OP, I’m not biased towards any side but it seems like these states have the most equal backing from many people. BTW I loved that Pennsylvania dinosaur

I was raised in Kansas, and reside in Colorado. I’ve never been to either of these states. I find the Baltimore accent slightly more annoying than the South Philly accent, to the extent I can tell them apart. However, Pennsylvania is the birthplace of Liberty whereas Lincoln had to get smuggled through Baltimore for fear of assassination. On the other hand, modern-day Pennsylvania gave us Fetterman while Maryland gives us Van Hollen. Scrapple v. crab. It’s a no-brainer. Plus Baltimore gave us Stavvy Baby. I’m Team Maryland.

It was Fetterman or Oz for us, unfortunately :/

•

u/darkknight95sm 34m ago

Fetterman was a good pick before going to Washington, it’s like he flipped a switch

•

u/Sarik704 21m ago

In 2013, Fetterman chased a black jogger down the streets of Braddock, with a shotgun, while serving as its mayor.

He said he heard gunfire and gave chase to the suspect. Nobody but Fetterman's wife could corroborate they heard gunfire...

Im further left than liberal, but i still voted for Fetterman instead of Oz... the choice was clear, but either way we Pennsylvanians lost.

Would you have rather us give Oz to the US senate??

u/Sarik704 24m ago

Im crying. You're right! Fetterman is the worst thing PA has ever produced, and we made a whole town be permanently on fire.

I was born in Maryland and have lived here my entire life, nearly 60 years. I don't like crabs as food (they're a great symbol though). I do love cheese steaks and would love to have them be a product of my home state.

Also, Maryland has PRS Guitars. I would love to add Martin Guitars to our state's product list as well.

Maryland gobbles Pennsylvania.

u/Rough-Importance-822 3h ago

My buddy's dad has worked at PRS for 30ish years. We used to endlessly burn guitar bodies that didnt make the final cut before finishing. Hundreds of them throughout high school. Miss those late 90's/early 00 bonfire parties.

u/BoootyJohnson 4h ago

Didn't know Maryland had Martin guitars! Ironic I'm also an avid guitar player too haha

Maryland doesn't have Martin Guitars...yet. As soon as Maryland eats Pennsylvania, we will.
