What moron would be dumb enough to fight set-piece battles when it isn't even necessary to win?
Set-piece battles are so yesterday. That's like a bunch of Mustache Petes hee-hawing over WW II.

A charismatic leader isn't necessary.
However, a charismatic spokesperson might be of value.
And your harping on the Far Left shows how out of touch you really are.
I don't suppose you could consider the possibility a civil war might be in response to the Far Left rather than started by the Far Left.
Now you have something new to think about.

More or less.
It just hasn't escalated yet.
You know, in the War of Colonial Independence, the Colonists didn't just wake up one morning and say,
"Hey, let's split from the whole freaking British program!"
Nope. That was something that simmered and simmered
for decades.
There was a whole bunch of
little things piling up and then the Stamp Tax Act and the whole gaggle of
little things and the next event and then a whole boat-load of
little things and then the next major event and then finally you reach the Tipping Point and it's, "
Here's the Declaration of Independence. Read an weep."
That's how it works in Real Life®, not some fantasy video game. You can look at others. They're all the same. Nothing happens over-night.
You're close, but no cigar yet.
Give it another 15-20 years.
