personally, if I was a party operative, fixer, or machine boss, I would go ahead and find out if there could possibly be any photo of a prospective candidate in blackface. and if it was possible, I would deny them access to the ticket.

I really don't get how this continues to happen. like I was an adult in 2006 and "let's go to the party in blackface" was not a thing people were doing.

The nepo babies and other elites in their ivory towers are terrible people, it's not really surprising. They can't fix the symptom without fixing the problem (ie getting rid of themselves and their racist, murderous, hideous system) lol

If they did that they wouldn't have any candidates left to run
