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, Alex ponders why only Mexican Beer seems to come with a lime, then he dives into more substantive issues. It feels awfully similar to the summer of 2016 — Trump is reverting back to his divisive and animalistic rhetoric as the country is warming up to an historic candidate running against him. Specifically, Alex focuses on Trump’s comments around Kamala Harris being a biracial woman. Later, Alex looks into the recent prisoner sway between Russia and Germany/the United States. He argues that prisoner negotiations are never perfect, and while he is glad people like Paul Whelan are home, he worries this has emboldened Putin to keep taking hostages. Finally, Alex reflects on Gov. Josh Shapiro and why he would be the best VP choice.
