Notable quotes

“When annual elections end, there slavery begins.”
— John Adams, letter to George Wythe (April 1776).
““I am an experienced strategist. If you had elected me, you would have saved [the World Uyghur Congress] from the wrong direction. If you had not elected me, you would have saved me from my wife’s !””
— Erkin Ekrem, as quoted in "Why Uyghur Leaders Tell Jokes: A Healthy Demonstration of Independence" by Shöhret Hoshur, Bitter Winter (December 23, 2021)
“An electoral choice of ten different fascists is like choosing which way one wishes to die. The holder of so-called high public office is always merely an extension of the hated ruling corporate class.”
— George L. Jackson, Blood in My Eye (1971), p. 72
“To give the victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.”
— Abraham Lincoln, speech (c. May 18, 1858); in Roy P. Basler, ed., The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln (1953), vol. 2, p. 454. Other uses of his contrast of ballots and bullets can be found in his message to Congress of July 4, 1861, "That ballots are the rightful, and peaceful, successors of bullets; and that when ballots have fairly, and constitutionally, decided, there can be no successful appeal, back to bullets" (vol. 4, p. 439); and in a letter to James C. Conkling, August 26, 1863, "There can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet" (vol. 6, p. 410). In Arthur Brooks Lapsley, ed., The Writings of Abraham Lincoln (1905), there is a reconstruction, forty years later, of a speech to the first Republican state convention of Illinois, Bloomington, Illinois, May 29, 1856, in which this sentence appears: "Do not mistake that the ballot is stronger than the bullet" (vol. 2, p. 269). This lengthy reconstruction was not "worthy of serious consideration", in the opinion of Basler (Collected Works, vol. 2, p. 341).
“An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it.”
— George Bernard Shaw, Back to Methuselah.
“If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.”
— Author unknown, graffiti; reported in Mother Jones Magazine, Vol. 7, Num. 3, April 1982, p. 25.
