Technically that would make king charles my head of state seeing as I live in California. Not into that. A lot of pros/advantages though, I'll say that much.

Except seeing him on money he affects Canadians in zero ways. And y'all have Jackson on your money so I wouldn't go throwing stones.

King Charles has much less power than King Trump. Multiple orders of magnitude less.

I am aware, but it makes me finicky. Irks me irrationally.

As an American you should be used to picking between the lesser of two evils... This is an easy choice if you had to pick ...

I started voting green party when I realized that that was the system - lesser of two evils. To me, it doesn't feel like the least of all evils, it just feels a little disappointing as a third party almost inherently. But then I get a second wind sometimes and concert myself to making something of it.

Yeah but with how the system works your just voting for the worst evil to win... Or at least helping that side win... Such a great system we have
