Who Will Be Time's Person of the Year for 2020? (1 Viewer)

[Mystery Achiever]

Just a little break from Covid and election talk. 
These are the finalists.
The announcement is tonight at 10PM Eastern, so I'm cutting the poll off then.

Fauci and front line workers should get it

Elliot Page

 

[IvanKaramazov]

I see today is our annual 24 hour period when we all pretend that Time magazine is at all relevant.

I voted for health care workers, but really who cares.

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

Tiger King

It should be Trump but my guess is it will be this guy

 

[Mystery Achiever]

I've assumed Fauci for awhile--  like expecting Watt to win  Payton MOY after the hurricane.
Wish they'd have framed it the opposite way, though: Fauci and the Frontline  Workers. Good band name.

Dominion Voting Systems.

It should be Trump 

I agree with you.  Trump should be getting it for the 4th year in a row.  Like it or not there’s been nobody on the planet more consequential than him for each of the last 4 years.

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

Honestly I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that Trump will deserve to win it again in 2021.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Is it really just for "most consequential" and not for "most consequential not counting bad consequences"? Seems like an exploitable loophole.

Dolly Parton should be in the running.  Gave a ton of money to find a vaccine.  Selfless human who is just so adorable.

Do not reward/honor the person working to destroy democracy.

Biden AND Harris: Person of the Year.

364 more days to go until the next Day of Relevance.

Biden and Harris is a nice troll pick toward Trump. I applaud TIME for that.

It really should have been those who provide Emergency/Bedside Health Care Workers; First Responders/Nurses etc.  This year; they were on the frontline during a Global Pandemic.  That should count more than winning the POTUS. 

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

I've filed a suit for a recount.

 

[Phil Elliott]

It doesn't have to be a person, and isn't necessarily a "positive" impact.  I thought the COVID-19 virus was a slam dunk. Absolutely the most consequential impact in the US and the world over the past 100+ years. 

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Agree Covid was the most consequential; I went with Fauci+ thinking of it as a proxy.
Biden/Harris seems like the least consequential at this point since they haven't done anything yet except get elected.Based on Time's explanation, seems like voters would've been a better pick because they were looking for that choice imo more than Biden/Harris convinced them to make it.

"For changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are TIME's 2020 Person of the Year," wrote Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal.

Props to Time for at least picking a good photo.

So dumb.  This is why Time is fading away.  Biden and Harris haven’t done anything.

Although by not doing a thing they apparently have done a lot.
