This quote on voting is from Bill Moyers (in 2008). It's still relevant.
"We know tragically how bullets can change the course of history – bullets cost us Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert, Martin Luther King.
But ballots change history, too, and when I say our votes matter, I speak not out of some mystical belief in “the will of the people” but because elections – imperfect as they are, twisted and smattered by smears and lies and counter-lies galore, subject to distortion and manipulation – elections offer an alternative to violence, they keep us from coming apart altogether."
