Most of us (even democrats) want to go vote in the Republican Caucasus in a few weeks. That’s what my family is planning on doing anyway. Voting in this primary is a waste of time, because Biden is going to get the DNC nomination, there is basically no point in voting right now.
Down the line, yes there is still a point voting in November, since we’ll be able to vote for local officials as well, even if SC will just vote into red for the 40th year in a row or whatever the actual stat is.
You should be aware that trying to poison the well like that is generally counterproductive.
The parties don’t see “oh, secret Dems are trying to get a candidate they can stomach” they see “90% of the voters are registered as the other guys, don’t bother”
Shocker
For the record, there’s 3,200,000 registered voters in South Carolina. Biden won with 116,266 votes tonight. He received 540,000 votes in 2020.
I doubt most of them even knew the primaries had already begun. My state’s primaries are in a couple of months.

262k in the 2020 primary, which is probably the most analogous comparison to the 116k.
