On Lisa's world, the United States has started to become obsessed with choosing their next leader. Mobs stand out in front of public buildings waving signs, the candidates go on television to insult and yell at each other, and for some reason, the only people considered seem to be men.

I don't think I'm ever going to stop preferring monarchies. They're so much less messy.

Wouldn't that be pretty messy deciding whose?

Not always. Often the throne is passed to a relative if there are no direct descendants.

Ain't that just a popularity contest again?

No. A ruler is never chosen by the people in a monarchy. The retiring monarch would pick the successor.

Popularity contest with a smaller judge panel.

A good ruler knows to make their choice based on something more than popularity.
