The Rhetoric of Politics: Multigenerational Perspectives

SEASON 1: EPISODE 1 | Aired: 07/10/18

Many believe the divisiveness in American politics is at an all-time high, making compromise almost impossible in national, state and local politics but also between friends and family members.

Nevada Week explores the issue with two seasoned politicians: Former Nevada U.S. Senator and Former Nevada Governor Richard Bryan (D), and Former Nevada Governor Robert List (R). Joining the conversation are two rising stars on the Nevada political scene: Lynnette Hull, President of the Nevada Young Democrats, and Luis Vega, a decorated war veteran who ran for Nevada Assembly District 4 as a Republican in the 2018 Primary Election.

Guests discuss the factors contributing to the ever-widening political divide and share ideas on how to reduce polarization.
