Type Til Ya Drop (VP)

Type Til Ya Drop (VP) is a male INFJ-T on 16Personalities. He runs several of the nations on the 16P NationStates region (ULIF). For a time, he served as the Regional Delegate before calling it quits.

A map maker, poet, and crazed writer, VP is often characterized as "quirky" and/or insane by most that know him well. Indeed, very few people would decide frying pans are the most essential tools for dealing with unwanted humanoid house guests.

Such RPs include Darkest Before the Dawn, 16 Types Kingdoms" Version 2.0, Age of Men, and Daybreak.

 * "Sleeping is un-American-- after all, Hamilton didn't die sleeping."
 * "Populism isn't the way to go through life. If one stands for nothing, they fall for everything: that is the way of the world."

First Presidential Run
Speech:

Americans, I speak to you this afternoon not as a figure of Southern politics, but as a lover of my nation and a product of the working class.

The year, as we know, is 2020. People believe that this could be the most controversial election in history, and I agree- this will be the last election where millenials will have only a minute chance at winning the presidency. "We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not."

Those were the words of Greta Thunberg to the United Nations in 2019, battling for the continuation of the world by fighting climate change. By 2040, our actions will be irreparable. For years, leftists have argued for equality and justice for women, for members of the LGBTQA+ community, for working class Americans. Like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, I plan to fight for big structural change. That's why I'm announcing my candidacy for president in 2040 as a member of the Democratic ticket with Stringbean as my running mate.

Americans want to see their nation, their world change for the better without the corruption or criminal allegations and/or records following the men and women they seek to elect. They wish to put their trust into men and women that will truly serve them, men and women with agendas that only represent their needs, not the people's.

Not me.

I stand against injustice, cruelty, and dishonesty. I stand against racism and discrimination, collusion with foreign governments and withholding aid from our allies. I stand against corporations that take advantage of immigrants that seek a better life in this country.

Social security and public healthcare must be drastically expanded for the benefit of the American people. The minimum wage must be made a living wage of $20 an hour. Renewable energy is needed to save our planet, not just for ourselves, but for all people of every nation, of every generation, no matter their social or economic or political positions. Conversion therapies must be banned, and the government must stay out of marriage. Labor Unions must be strengthened and aided. Immigration must be seriously reformed to provide a pathway for all immigrants. If we can bail out the crooks on Wall Street, we can cancel student debt across the nation, debt that cripples the lives of so many Americans. A wealth tax must be established to help all Americans. Our environment must be saved. Welfare and education must be radically reformed and well-funded to keep our nation's children from becoming criminals. Education, healthcare, and welfare are basic human rights. The right to clean air and a clean environment are basic human rights.

As a Progressive, I make one promise to the American people: Progress Saves Lives! Thank you, America, and goodbye.
