NotAName is a Progressive Senator from Jefferson. He was originally a Democrat, but he left to join the Communist Party before settling on the Progressives. NotAName is the only member of the sim to have held a position in Congress representing all three states.


History

NotAName was invited by AnswerMeNow to the sim on April 3, 2018. He was elected to the House of Representatives in the April Election on the Green Democratic Ticket in the South (now Dixie). During the June elections, NotAName briefly defected to the Communist Party before leaving and becoming a founding member of the Progressive Party, along with Butterlands and others.

NotAName was elected to one of the Senate seats in the Northern special election in July, after the Communist exodus. After serving a few weeks as minority leader, another special election prompted the ambitious, Progressive-supported candidate IndyPrez into the Senate (NotAName had designed a campaign poster for IndyPrez, as well as given him advice). He assisted in making IndyPrez Majority Leader of the Senate, setting off an era of the Senate known as the "IndyPrez era". Meanwhile, NotAName had become the de facto second-in-command of the Progressive Party, assisting Butterlands in negotiating a Progressive-Republican Coalition to combat the Democratic hold on the country.

After the Democratic Coup, many members of the Democrats disagreeing with the methods of ComHack447 defected to the Progressive Party. This allowed the Party to surge to victory in the August Elections. They took control of both the House and Senate, putting Jet back to his old position as Senate Majority Leader. This period was quite quiet, with the Progressives passing their agenda mostly without challenge. The PP-GOP coalition was terminated for the sake of it not being needed anymore, and a rival coalition with the Democrats, the SDA, was founded. The Democrats would soon become the New Whigs, but the coalition was not touched.

The October Elections saw the defeat of the SDA and the defeat of the left for the first time in sim history. The SDA lost the Senate, but retained a majority in the House. NotAName lost reelection to Lamport and, as part of a plan formulated by fellow party member Cool Dad, moved to Jefferson and became a representative in the state. During this period, NotAName became the Leader of the PP following the ascension of Butterlands to the Supreme Court, and became Secretary of State, nominated by his former party leader Politophile. NotAName helped negotiate the LC, an agreement between the SDA and the Communist Party. Following the retirement of Peanut, NotAName resolved a brief Speakership crisis in the House by volunteering himself to serve as Speaker for the remainder of the session of Congress.

During this time, NotAName founded the Orwell Institute, an anti-authoritarian think tank loosely promoting the values of George Orwell.

NotAName reentered the Senate following the January Elections, winning a seat from the retiring Apex. However, he lost the party leadership elections to good friend Cool Dad by a small margin. NotAName went on to become a member of the PNEC, in an attempt to bridge a growing divide within the party between the establishment Progressives (headed by Cool Dad), and the Justice Progressives (headed by IndyPrez).

On January 12, 2019, NotAName announced an already-expected run for the Presidency of the US.
