Pretty sure MLK Jr. cared more about the power of the vote for the right party organization, not just vote blue no matter who shit. VBNMW is literally the problem he is describing in that quote, and you act out the smug moderate precisely.
He was socialistic, yes didn't believe in party alignment, and yet even though he disagreed with them, and was critical of, he most likely voted JFK and confirmed his vote for Johnson the oogaboogey blue candidates.
But that's not what I was speaking on, and he was not speaking on blind party alignment in that quote, he is literally just calling out moderates. Rightly so, he still voted for them tho. ^
