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 short, mid-week episode, Alex discusses his thoughts from a few debates this week that brought some important insights into the state and national political climate. First, he discusses the Florida Gubernatorial debate between Governor Ron DeSantis and Democrat Charlie Crist. Crist is likely to lose and is almost out of campaign money, but he was willing to attack DeSantis on a myriad of issues. Alex notes that DeSantis seems to lack the charisma that made Trump so successful, he also seems less likeable and somewhat “prickly.” Later, Alex discusses the Pennsylvania race for the senate. The debate was between Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman. Alex notes that while Fetterman is better qualified to be elected and is more educated on policies for the state. However, in the debate he struggled to articulate some of his arguments due to a stroke back in May and this has created an optics problem for the candidate. The race is getting closer than some had hoped.
