Since the ultimate goal of bourgeois "democracy" is to uphold capitalism, it always comes down to "bourgeois party pretending societal issues come from nowhere" versus "bourgeois party pinning the blame on a group / ideology". Even if you can successfully block the latter party once, the failings of the former party to address people's material conditions is a negative feedback loop for credibility.
So it's frustrating either way. Without socialism, the only function of "democracy" is to delay the inevitable. Since I am not an accelerationist, I will take that option only if there is a legitimate, material threat to oppressed people. If only for giving time to organize resistance and getting people to safety.
