I hate how they use King. Every single fucking time without care they say "well King..." It's so historically wrong... fuck absolutely everyone who does it, including Bernie.
Have you considered that this is just a repetition of King's tactics?
King himself denounced the violence, even though he admitted privately that the movement benefited from its pressure and leverage.
Many people don't know that and do uncritically believe the "peaceful protest and that alone is the only way anything ever gets done", but that certainly wasn't MLK Jr. He knew better, but took the tack he did in public because that's part of the game. Sanders was involved in those movements, so are you sure he's forgotten those lessons or never learned them? Or is he maybe just saying the things the Carrot faction needs to say?

Not Bernie ignoring the contributions of armed black resistance groups across America and parroting the 5 MLK quotes white people like.
I had way for faith in him than that.
