Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode on the Eve of Thanksgiving, Alex starts by discussing his new Christmas guilty pleasure movie. Then he discusses how the Far-Right has started blaming the tragic nightclub shooting in Colorado Springs on the victims. He discusses how the lies around “groomers” have caused a complete breakdown in moral courage and compassion. Alex then gets into Trump’s bad day of lawsuits, investigations, and Supreme Court smackdowns. Later, Alex talks about the COP27 Summit that just ended in Egypt. He notes that it seems like the summit was ineffective in accomplishing climate goals, though creating a climate fund to help developing countries was a good start. He discusses how the idea of the fund was crucial but also that there is still no plan. He discusses how developing countries need state and network finances to help encourage private investment into renewable energy infrastructure. Finally, Alex discusses a growing arms race or Cold War between the United States and China over climate change and renewable energy.
