I'm voting third party. Is the Democratic Party big tent enough to endorse anti-war? Or do anti-war candidates face some pretty despicable accusations?

Americans love bloodshed and trauma regardless of Party. It's the one thing that binds us all together as a nation. Anyone who does not love killing is a traitor, and must themselves be killed to preserve the majesty of our imperium. Jesus may love the peacemaker, but Uncle Sam demands good old fashioned blood sacrifice for his altar.
But the Democrats do like to feign remorse, sometime after whatever the latest invasion was, so they don't have to feel like total monsters for supporting the things they supported and killing all the people they killed. So they are the "nice" ones, you see, in terms or relative aesthetics. Their favorite kind of war is the kind that starts under a Republican administration, of course, so they can absolve themselves of blame altogether and pretend they opposed it even if their Senator didn't, but they'll make do with what they can get if it was their guy who gave the order.

I just got my Texas vote by mail ballot. Filled it in today and will mail it out tomorrow. Doing my little bit to turn Texas blue.
27 days to go! I have a nice bottle of champagne in the fridge for when Biden wins.

It depends mostly on if they do and say despicable things. Of course, the Democratic Party is to some extent partisan and so you'll have some undue accusations, too. Just like the Green Party and the Libertarian Party are also to some extent partisan and so will lodge undue accusations against other parties from time to time. None of this matters to the point which is that I am simply trying to find the relevance of your statement:

So how is that relevant? Please explain.

This fine cool morning....
538
National - Biden is up +8.8%
Florida - Biden is up +3.6%
Michigan - Biden is up +7.2%
Pennsylvania - Biden is up +6.3%
Wisconsin - Biden is up +6.9%
North Carolina - Biden is up +2.0%
I am glad to see Biden making good gains in Florida. Highest Biden ever was in Florida was +7.4% back in July.

No, thry think the voters have no memory.
If they say in January that he's at the perfect weight, people will brag about how fit he is.
Then, in October, announce a 50 pound weight loss to 'the perfect weight' people will brag about how fit he got.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden reaffirmed on Monday that he would work to codify abortion rights into federal law if elected.
At a town hall in Miami, the former vice president was asked about his plan for protecting abortion access in light of President Donald Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
“Number one, we don’t know exactly what she will do, though the expectation is that she will move to overrule Roe,” Biden said. “The only responsible response to that would be to pass legislation making Roe the law of the land. That’s what I would do.”
...
Biden plays for the women's vote. The extreme conservative plan to ban all abortion and get rid of Roe vs Wade is supported only by 20% of American voters. Trump sees that as his base. Trumpo wanted culture war for political reasons, he's got it.

You can bet Amy Phoney Barrett will agree with that.

CNN Poll: Biden expands lead over Trump after contentious debate and President's Covid diagnosis - CNNPolitics
"Among likely voters, 57% say they back Biden and 41% Trump in the poll that was conducted entirely after the first debate and mostly after the President's coronavirus infection was made public." - a 16% gap. Biden is also ahead in the swing states, but by not as much.
Among likely voters, Biden beats Trump in a lot of things.
Though Biden supporters like people of color and college-educated white women continue to increase their support of him, Trump supporters like white men without college educations continue to stand firm.

Do polls actually have zero force?
If Biden were to hold a 24 point lead in the polls in a given State and then, in true Russian style, it was announced that Trump won it by three points, AFAIK there would be NOTHING Dems could do about it. They'd cry foul and try to get the 'fake news media" to agree that cheating had occurred. Even if they succeeded at that, it would be too late once the 32% Trump lemmings were convinced that he had won.
Strange choice of a verb - "eviscerate". That would require that Trump had guts in the first place.

Even Rasmussen has Trump up by 12. Interestingly, their poll first swung big toward Biden after the Barrett nomination
