Correct The Record may claim this type of project is necessary to defend against "Bernie Bros," but numerous women, who support Sanders, have come under attack as if they have betrayed their gender by refusing to support Clinton. One Clinton supporter told a Sanders supporter to give up her "woman card" because her support for Sanders showed she "sucked" at being a woman. When actress and model Emily Ratajkowski expressed her support for Sanders, she was told to shut up and go back to being a hot woman. She was even asked to show her t*ts because that is the "spirit" of socialism.
In other words, while there is plenty of evidence there are anonymous "Bernie Bros" online who say sexist and repulsive things to women who support Clinton, there is a tit-for-tat that can be carried out, showing women who support Sanders have experienced the same kind of abuse online. To put it even more bluntly, women who express their political opinions online are cyber-bullied daily, and manipulating those attacks into a means to cripple an opponent's political campaign is quite devious.
The Clinton campaign, and in particular, Correct The Record, is so filled with conceit that it thinks, in the middle of the Democratic primary when there are over a thousand pledged delegates to still be awarded, that they can target the "attacks" or criticisms of Clinton by Sanders supporters published on social media and then push campaign propaganda at these same supporters that will convince them to support Clinton. It is incredibly vain, and an example of how the Clinton campaign has believed all along that it is entitled to support from Democratic voters.
There would be no need for a "digital task force" if the Clinton campaign did not fear that Americans are learning too much about how Clinton is beholden to corporate and special interests, which will heavily influence her as president. They are tired of defending her against claims that she is too much of a corporate Democrat to be a true advocate for social progress if elected. They also do not want to continue to spend money fighting Sanders and his supporters so they are pulling out all the stops. Not only will this undermine campaign finance regulations, but it will effectively discourage and suppress political speech by numerous Americans.
