(135,425 posts)I just don't think MM is the champion for the cause that's needed. He's not a uniting force--he's divisive and his personality overtakes the issues he decides to champion, often as not--to the detriment of the cause at hand. He's guaranteed to turn off half the country before he opens his mouth. That's just an inconvenient truth, to make a small pun.
I'd rather see a Hunter Lovins or someone of her stature come forward and lead the charge--someone who can unite even those reluctant trust fund former climate deniers who are now figuring out that this global warming thing is fucking up their ski vacations because the snow isn't falling and tearing down their beach homes with vicious hurricanes. She's done the research, she has the life-long experience, she's an expert--acknowledged around the world--in the field.
MM is just not "the guy." It's always more about him than it is about the issue at hand.
