Despite this year’s elections in Virginia being scheduled to take place only in November, former Democratic presidential hopeful and ex-first lady of the United States Hillary Clinton urged her supporters to prepare for the electoral process.
“There are 1,600 offices on the ballot in Virginia's state elections this fall”, Hillary tweeted, asking people to help “recruit great Democratic candidates” via Run for Something, a US political organisation dedicated to recruiting and supporting young candidates running for down-ballot office.

Her call, however, quickly evoked a barrage of negative responses online, with people criticising both her and the Democratic Party in general.

Love that you keep your face in the Democratic party. It's the best thing that can help Trump and the Republicans.

No brain or experience needed. No need to read, think, or write. This is the epitome of Democrats. Just shove anybody in there. Can Hilly get more stupidity desperate? Yes. Murders in Benghazi and Clinton Drug Cartel foundation. There’s more. Fuel for food in Iraq deal 4 $$$

Some were also quick to remind her about the recent scandal involving current Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and a racist photo from his medical yearbook.

Of the 1,600… 65% of the Democrats either wore blackface a few years ago, or sexually assaulted someone. Virginia is for Lovers!

Those with prior blackface experience need not apply.
