    the ballot is one big trick question

    I’d like an explanation of what you actually mean by this and why not voting is better than voting for the least bad candidate, if you regard them all as bad.

        It is not. You need to re-familiarize yourself with what monarchy actually is. Maybe spend a year in an actual monarchy/dictatorship country if you have so little appreciation for the democracy you currently enjoy?

          Monarchy is rule by means of individuals whose positions cannot change. That roughly describes the US. There’s so much imbalance and indecision and so much of the power where it shouldn’t be that it’s de facto no different from choosing between two lineages every four years, only to get screwed over each time by several of the promises being a sham. There are other proclaimed democracies that are truer to their word.
