Democracy is democracy, it's a process and not a result. This is a pretty basic understanding that I'm shocked you don't yet know.

The elections that brought Hitler to power were definitely part of a process.

Process + elections does not always equal democracy. When the strongest player on the scene is not a democrat, whether it is the Nazis in 1933 or Hezbullah now, the results of the process are extremely unlikely to be democratic.
