TIME's Person of the Year (2020)

[Axtremus]

The shortlist: https://time.com/5919489/time-person-of-the-year-shortlist-2020/

• Trump
• Biden
• Frontline health care workers and Fauci
• The movement for racial justice

The "essential workers" have already won the reader poll, but TIME has not finalize their choice for the Person of the Year for 2020.

Whom would you pick?

Not sure if TIME ever considered a microorganism for Person of the Year, but I would have added SARS-CoV-2 to the list. There is nothing that shaped the year 2020 more than SARS-CoV-2.

Person of the year, Ax. Not organism.

I'm up 'essential' workers.

[Horace]

Hopefully it will be the movement for racial justice. I love black and brown people because I am their white protector. I hate other white people who think they are lesser people.

[Horace]

I am just waiting for America to finally get around to talking about our racism problem. Ax, please post more about your thoughts about racism, I think you could help.

Even before opening this thread I presumed it’ll be the frontline workers or Fauci.

The virus didn't shape anything

Mr. Trump's heroic reaction to it shaped fake news

And the person of the year is the fake news publisher

[Loki]

The vaccine makers unfathomable warp speed. Duh.

Biden/Harris.

Ugh.

[Aqua Letifer]

To be honest with you, Diane, I'm surprised.

[jodi]

It should have been the health care frontline workers.

+1

+2

What a wimpy selection. Even BLM, and my disagreements with them, would’ve been more appropriate. But it should’ve been Covid related, like front line workers. 2020 will not be remembered in history books as the “Biden” year.

Biden/Harris.

Ugh.

It’s called being at the scene of the accident.

The participation award makes it to Time.

[Loki]

Bizarre that time did not pick this.

[George K]

This ranks almost as ridiculous as Obama's Nobel Prize. Their big accomplishments are, the way I see it:

1. Oldest man to become president
2. First Indian, Jamacain, African-American, Woman of Color as VEEP
3. Their color is not orange
4. First person to drop out of the race before any primary as VEEP
5. They're not orange
6. They're not Trump

TIME lost relevance years ago. Time for the trash heap of history.
