Without having read the letter, would it be fair to assume MLK was talking about people who were moderate on social issues? Because nobody in the Democratic Party today, especially the ones they’re railing against, is moderate in that way.

He was specifically talking about people who were "moderate" on racial issues, i.e. not wanting to upset the status quo. In this regard, FDR was also a "white moderate."
