    Democrats in Panic Mode Over Third-Party Threats: Report

    Democrats have been raising alarm over potential threats from third-party candidates to President Joe Biden's reelection campaign this November, the Washington Post reported Thursday.

    Polls indicating that third-party candidates—such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and a potential one from No Labels—could take a share of the votes, as well as progressive efforts to court voters who are dismayed by Biden's support for Israel have driven such fears, per the outlet.

    "A lot of Democrats have come to the realization over the last month that RFK and West are real electoral threats and not just curiosities, and the Middle East crisis is partially driving that, especially in West’s case," one Biden ally told the Post. "The RFK problem is not that he gets 18 percent. It is that he gets 3 percent or 2 percent or 1 percent."

    As they should be.

    Nader got 2.7% of the vote in 2000.Stein got 1% of the vote in 2016.

    West and Stein are currently polling at 4.4%

    Biden voter neighbor is disappointed with Biden, hates Trump and wishes for an independent alternative but not the crazy RFK Jr.
    Trump is already an outsider alternative, who else we got?
