As an unapologetic, fence-sitting, Democratic-voting moderate, I believe the reason Dems don't have a Charlie Kirk is the same reason there are so many agnostics on the left--Some people are not natural-born followers. Maybe it's all the PBS we watched as kids? Maybe it's Alan Alda and Marlo Thomas' fault for, "Free to Be You and Me, " not "Conform to the Group or You Ain't a Real American?" I find sanity in the Bulwark in our present "Heart of Darkness." I can't decide if Bannon or Musk is Kurtz. For those of us who grew up before books were banned (Gen-X), I'm haunted by the prescience of books I read decades ago.
