I don't really think it makes sense to talk about "protecting democracy" in a two-party system where one party has fully given up on the idea of democracy and is steadily building out authoritarian rule.
Nor does success at pushing that party out of power while it remains fundamentally anti-democratic magically "restore democracy".
At this point, the goal must be to _create_ democracy in the United States.
