Kinship and political power is another area to consider.

Hunter Biden is one clear-cut example of dysfunction, but this pattern is common and repeated at every level of government.

I also think the existence of political families is evidence of dysfunction, and should be avoided in most circumstances. I oppose the political careers of any future Bush's or Clinton's.
