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 going over a new government report that highlights the logistical failures of both the Trump Administration and Biden Administration in pulling out of Afghanistan. Next, Alex talks about why the right is fixated on birthright citizenship. Specifically, many 2024 candidates are talking about repealing birthright citizenship. Alex argues this could be dangerous and is in contrast to the American experience. Finally, Alex breaks down an interseting US Army fact sheet from 1945 that highlights the threat of Fascism. The fact sheet eerily serves as a time capsule into the current democratic crises going on in the world.
