and no it doesn't strike me as weird that we have political dynasties in America. just like it doesn't surprise me when a Baker's son becomes a baker. And coming from a country with a MONARCHY it's certainly no where near as ridiculous.

The USA is not a democracy, at least with China, Russia etc, there is no pretence at it. Everyone knows what they are getting. For the record, when Putin was elected, he was universally popular with the people, they were in full support of him, it doesn't get much more democratic in those terms
