Biden delays action constantly. His administration abandons promises and doesn't fight for policy.
MLK Jr. would likely say Biden lacks mass movement that will force him to act and give him an achievement to define his presidency as more than an exercise in mediocrity. #MLKDay

To Martin Luther King Jr., "The overwhelming national consensus followed" the acts of the most lauded US Presidents. "It did not precede them." That was owed to grassroots social movements (i.e. Civil Rights Movement). #MLKDay
Martin Luther King Jr. teaches us that the perils of Democrats, who idealize "consensus leadership," can only be tamped down or counteracted through movements.
Demonstrations and organizing makes more than the "least common denominator of change" possible. #MLKDay
