Hey Guys im trying to revive an old United States Politics RP I saw and since I saw there being no Political Rp’s.I decided i try to make one.
Introduction: Do you think you've got what it takes to survive 21st Century politics in the United States of America? In the dirty world of politics, nothing is off-limits. Shady dealings behind closed doors, ambitious and legally questionable schemes, and backstabbing your allies are few of the many things you'll have to do if you want to stay ahead of others in the merciless society of D.C. politics. Whether you are a news reporter trying to get an exclusive inside coverage of national politics, a freshman house representative trying to survive his first year in D.C., a Supreme Court justice who is determined to abuse his powers to become a millionaire, or a senior senator poised at a potential bid for the presidency, we've got a place for you right here.
Prologue: It's 2015, and the United States remains as politically polarized as ever. The country is divided on numerous issues, ranging from the issue of gay marriage, to tax policies, to climate change. A lame duck president sits in the White House, his popularity declining everyday, and Congress remains heavily gridlocked, Democrats and Republicans blocking one another's efforts to make headway in tackling controversial issues. Media is full of pundits and biased news. Being a politician has never been so much fun.
