Great interview. I enjoy his views very much. In particular how he isn't slamming one party or another. I think he's spot on about the monetary incentives of the media to keep the heat ratcheted up, polarization is good for business. Fear and hate sell... on both sides.
I especially agree with Andrew Yang's prescription of electoral reform. I'd like to see ranked choice and an end to gerrymandering. Ranked choice with open primaries would make compromise and consensus more likely. He hit it on the nail that fear and anger are what is motivating today's politicians. We're turning tribal and turning our backs on solutions to real problems we face in society. The tribalism is covering up the many things both the mainstream GOP and Dems agree upon.
Gerrymandering (which is an issue in Oregon) can be fairly easily dealt with by bi-partisan commissions. There are mathematical formulas that identify gerrymandering. It can be measured, and should be rejected.
