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

This ranks almost as ridiculous as Obama's Nobel Prize. Their big accomplishments are, the way I see it:
- Oldest man to become president
- First
Indian,Jamacain,African-American, Woman of Color as VEEP - Their color is not orange
- First person to drop out of the race before any primary as VEEP
- They're not orange
- They're not Trump

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

What Jolly said. We only pay attention to them one day a year.

As with the Oscars, thousands of man-hours will be spent explaining why nobody cares about this award, by people who care so little that they spend thousands of hours doing so.
And they'll sell magazines.

@George-K said in TIME's Person of the Year (2020):
Ben Shapiro tweets: "And yet the word "person" is singular. They just can't bear to leave Kamala off. Get a food taster, Joe Biden."
Every time Biden and Kamala talk together watch the dynamic. He clearly signals partnership and defers to her, he knows the playbook is that she is heir apparent right out of the gate.
Biden always wanted to be President, the man in charge. That instinct will reveal itself over time and privately it will eat in to him when it’s clear he has to run everything by her. He may inadvertently smack her down when the voice inside his head leaks out.

If you look at the list of past winners of the Time Man of the Year award, the winning presidential candidate has been the winner every election year since 2000 and often before that. President Trump was 2016, President Obama was for 2008 and 2012, President Bush 2000 and 2004 - a lot of imagination there at Time.

They've backed themselves into a corner. Had they given the award to Health Care Workers or someone else, it would suggest that PE Biden was somehow less significant than the choice of previous Presidential choices.
