So you think squirting people with water pistols is more effective? It was an either/or question.

Or maybe a different, historical hypothesis?

You're a Roman Senator, trying to gain support for election. Do you

a) give bread to plebians with your name carved into the crust or

b) have your personal guard beat anyone that doesn't promise to vote for you?

    Historically uhhh b

    Voter intimidation was such a problem that it led to the invention of the secret ballot.

    So yes, violence is more effective.

    Inconveniences like being stuck in traffic are not violence. Grow up.
