those are not circumstances unique to this election.

if the democrats are running a campaign that cannot succeed without a third party abandoning the strategy they've been using constantly for the past 28 years, they have already lost.

the greens are not a chaotic force doing unpredictable things. if democrats don't account for the greens doing what they always do, its their own fault if they lose.

Yes - the Democrats are at fault for arrogantly running an ineffective campaign like the institutionalists they are, and the Greens are at fault for aiding a hostile state actor and the unabashed fascists.

Both are bad, though not in a comparable way.
