I never said Republicans are prioritizing democracy, just that Democrats are only pretending to. Democracy is only a means to an end, it's really not that high a priority for anyone. Which is exactly why the Democratic Party sidestepping their own primary isn't a big deal. I'd say it's genuinely a good thing. Biden is either dying or most people are just convinced he is, and not having to fear the president dying of age in office is worth setting aside part of the established democratic process. Republicans can win without a majority for the same sort of reason, the system was designed such that every place in the country would have their interests represented, not just the most populated places in charge of everything forever. The most direct idea of democracy was set aside in favor of other priorities, and that's fine.
Your retort is exactly the problem, you're lecturing me on democracy because I am a Republican, but the moment a less democratic process benefits the Democrats, you suddenly recognize that it isn't that important.
