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 laments the end of summer. The olympics are over, preseason football is the best show in town, and it is getting dark before 8pm. After pouring out a shot for the summer, Alex gives a brief recap of day one of the DNC in Chicago. He talks about Biden’s speech, protests outside the event, and what he expects to happen in the days to come. Next, Alex talks about how he thinks the right is misunderstanding why Democrats are so excited that Kamala Harris is the nominee. Finally, Alex looks at Kamala Harris’ economic platform that involves price caps on grocceries, a 25,000 dollar down payment for first time home-buyers, no taxes on tips, and price caps on prescription drug costs. Alex doesn’t agree with the economics of some of these ideas, but he argues that the platform is more about guiding the candidate’s policies.
