When the Center Becomes the Rebel
Once, being radical meant picking a side—Rush Limbaugh on the right, Keith Olbermann on the left. But today, that kind of partisanship isn’t radical anymore—it’s predictable.
In this episode, we explore a surprising idea: maybe the true radicals now are the independent thinkers—the bridge-builders—who refuse to be boxed into red or blue.
Our guest, Lura Forcum, President of The Independent Center, shares how her organization is empowering independent voters, holding politicians accountable, and helping the politically homeless find a voice.
