Should we focus on MLK’s actions because his words were super in favor of socialism?

I’m not a DSA member here, but the historical MLK would probably have been a fan of BBB, just saying. He understood fundamentally America had (and still has) an issue with the distribution of wealth.

Also, pretty sure MLK would have been for voting right reform. The Electoral Count Act can pass hopefully, but Dems were trying to make it so people can vote in the first place. Mitch McConnell is a snake, and I don’t blame them for not trusting him. Maybe I’m in a bad mood today because I’ve been stuck at home with Covid unable to look for work, but I’m sure McConnell would love nothing more than to see Dems fail and then pull the rug out on the ECA after. I love how everyone thinks post-Trump we can’t remember the backstabbing GOP completely breaking their promises. If I had the money, I’d donate again to primary Sinema.
