Common Dreams: 'The Stakes Could Not Be Higher': Debate Disaster Ignites Calls for Biden to Step Aside - Just as in 2000 - Gore, 2004 - Kerry, 2016 - Hillary, the Democratic National Committee chose a very weak and uninspiring nominee. As a result, most voters just stayed home, not seeing any difference that nominee would make for them if elected.
The DNC made the same mistake again this year, and the party is now in disarry. When the Democrats lose again this year, the DNC will blame everyone but themselves, and most especially third party voters.

“Aipac and other Super Pacs spent over $23 million to defeat Bowman. He spent $3 million. That is a spending gap which is virtually impossible to overcome,” he said, adding: “It is not a coincidence that with our corrupt campaign finance system we also have a rigged economy that allows the very rich to get much richer while many working people are falling further behind. Big Money buys politicians who will do their bidding, and the results are clear.”

NYTimes: Democrats Prepare Aggressive Counter to Third-Party Threats - Democrats are bringing out the old 'Nader voters elected Bush' routine again this year.
While 90,000 Florida voters of all persuasions (not just Democrats) voted for Nader in 2000, over 300,000 registered Democrats voted for Bush. 191,000 self-described liberals voted for Bush. A final count of all the votes showed that Gore actually won Florida. The Supreme Court stopped the count and appointed Bush - he was not elected. If Gore had won his home state, Florida would not even have mattered.
It's not the 'spoiler threat' that bothers the two major parties. What bothers them allowing voters to express their true preferences. They erupt whenever the two party focus is threatened. The two parties want to present voters with themselves as the only alternatives at the ballot box. They'll talk all day about Robert Kennedy - a candidate they know they can beat, but notice how they never mention the Green Party. They don't want a fair fight.
