Unlike our free, democratic country, Ukraine hasn't held elections, since we invaded them. It's a dictatorship.

Terrible. Just terrible. Tsk. Tsk.

Democracy robs freedom from minorities and from individuals.

Democracy is not freedom.

Unalienable rights and infivifual free agemcy guarantee the rights of minorities and individuals.

An unalieanable right is a right that cannot be taken away, not even by a 100% majority vote. Unalienable rights cannot be legislated away, and they cannot be ruled away by a supreme court. Government institutions cannot add qualifiers to unalienable rights or dilute them.

America is not a democracy. It is a Republic based on unalienable rights. The US constitution doesn't grant rights. Goverments have no authority over unalienable rights. The US Constituion explicitly tells the government that it shall not infringe on those rights.

Democracy is the biggest oppressor of all time.

Interesting point.

Democracy can have such mechanisms though, veto is another example. So you can call it democracy.

USA is a republic that chooses their reprasentatives in the legislative through a democratic ballot.

Yes, but you are missing the key point.

The key point is those elected officials have no authority over unalienable rights. All they can do is protect those rights or infringe on those rights. No form of democracy has power over unalienable rights. Nobody has authority over unalienable rights.

What has always made America unique is that it is based on unalienable rights.

That is true. Well, that the Constitution is meant to restrict the government.
