I’m laughing at reading everybody’s responses and okay I get the irony. But I still think he would’ve said it because the larger point remains. Transformations created at the ballot box are more profound for a society in the long run than is the assassination of any one person.

Crap. I was hoping you made that joke on purpose. I guess I'm back to wondering why anyone thinks you are politically relevant. No hate. Just don't get it.
Replying to @marwilliamson
nope the point fucking crumbles because the ballot is a rat race to distract you from meaningful change

The only thing voting has ever transformed was the way our military got deployed around the globe. Depending on which multinational donated (bribed) the most politicians that's where the military went to ensure they'd stay in place to continue exploiting natural resources there.
