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 starts by expressing his concerns about the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. RFK Jr. is seeming more and more like a fifth column inside of the Democratic Party that could be bad for Biden and worse for Democracy. Next, Alex discusses his fear of submarines and then goes into how he is troubled that the Bud Light boycott has been successful. He goes into why this boycott has worked and why he is worried about the precedent it will set. Finally, Alex looks into a California commission that has studied reparations. He discusses why he thinks reparations for the descendents of slaves are well-intentioned but may neglect to solve a bigger issue in the United States — class anger and division.
