Why are Americans so obsessed with political dynasties? I never understood that. It's so blatantly undemocratic in its spirit...

How on earth is it undemocratic?

Because the American system was founded in opposition to the dynastic political systems of Europe at the time. It was designed so that anyone could rise to political prominence based on their politics, not their family connections. Political dynasties are undemocratic because they favor those who have (often) undeserved name recognition.
