“The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” - Abraham Lincoln

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.

i admire the sentiment, but i fail to see how lincoln's or jfk's or, hell, franz ferdinand's assassination affected society less than electing gerald ford or james polk
