Analysis / Bias
The NDTC website openly supports Democratic candidates and causes, reflecting a clear left bias. This bias is evident in several ways:
- Endorsements from High-Profile Democrats: The site features endorsements from prominent Democrats like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, highlighting the organization’s close ties and alignment with the Democratic Party.
- Training and Resources: NDTC offers training and resources specifically tailored to support Democrats in political campaigns, focusing on areas like communications, campaign finance, and canvassing.
- Success Stories: The website showcases success stories of Democrats who have benefited from NDTC’s training, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to electing Democratic candidates.
- Partnerships: NDTC collaborates with state Democratic parties and similar groups like Run for Something and EMILY’s List, further demonstrating its alignment with Democratic strategies and goals.
- Fundraising Tactics: The Washington Post noted some criticism within the Democratic Party regarding the group’s primary fundraising consultant, Mothership Strategies, for using aggressive and sometimes misleading tactics.
The website also features a blog that primarily reports on its activities, such as this Growing the Democratic Party With Relational Organizing. In general, the organization is fact-based and sticks to its mission of promoting Democratic candidates.
