9:41Now PlayingAmericans keep getting told they have two choices — and that the only way to win is to convince voters the other side is evil. Rob Sand thinks that system isn’t just failing to solve problems. It’s actively making the country angrier.
“The lesser of two evils is still evil.”
Sand argues that voters feel trapped, politicians are rewarded for division instead of results, and the endless partisan tug-of-war guarantees nobody stays satisfied for long. His answer? Build coalitions around what people actually agree on — and stop treating your neighbors like enemies.
Joe Trippi talks with Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand about breaking through partisan politics, creating durable change, and why Sand believes Iowa could once again become a laboratory for better government.
