Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are Time’s 2020 Person of the Year, the magazine announced Thursday night.
The President-elect and Vice President-elect beat out Donald Trump again, among other finalists.
“Together, they offered restoration and renewal in a single ticket,” Charlotte Alter writes in Time’s piece about Biden and Harris. “And America bought what they were selling: after the highest turnout in a century, they racked up 81 million votes and counting, the most in presidential history, topping Trump by some 7 million votes and flipping five battleground states.”

Thought Covid would be their pick.
Where’s Willy?
I feel nauseous again. I cannot drink over this sht. I’m depressed enough. God have mercy on this country as a whole.
Time Magazine = Irrelevant
>>biggest thieves in the history of the country<<
Right? Hey, egg on Times mag when all this crap comes spewing out.
Two people for PERSON of the year. It’s like pluralizing the Lone Ranger or the Polish Hour on TV that lasts only 45 minutes... SMH
Yeah, they never denounced the riots and destruction, but they were the ones that were bringing hope and unity to the nation.
Today, announcements about Hunter under investigation on the networks. Banned it before election and now it’s being talked about. Oh the timing.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Kamela, because joe’s a goner.
When do they get their Nobel prizes?

Why is this in Breaking News?
We are in the middle of a Cyber Pearl Harbor attack and this is important
How?
What? No changing of street names, yet?
A re-naming of an airport is mandated because, you know, We The People gave them this mandate and all that!
*BARF*
Hilarious The media needs to be arrested for election interference and we need to have a new vote.
‘Restoration and renewal”
I must have a VERY DIFFERENT Dictionary.
I say its BS. According to their own criteria, the choice goes to "a person, thing, or idea that has, for better or for worse... done the most to influence the events of the year"
Biden was barely in the news for MOST of this year, nobody paid attention to what he said or did (except when his gaffes made the news), and even stealing the election towards the end of the year isn't even "his" doing, but rather the people controlling him.
Kamala Harris barely had an influence this year as well, the only time she was in the news was getting her ass handed to her in the debates by both Tulsi Gabbard and Mike Pence, and briefly as being named Joe Biden's affirmative action pick (which was met with a shrug)
I'd say the person who fits the criteria for 2020 OVERALL would be Dr. Anthony Fauci. I don't like him one bit, but to be perfectly objective, he has "for better or WORSE", done the most to INFLUENCE the events of this year.
(And I know other FReepers will probably all disagree with me on this, but The Grim Reaper should have been Time's Man of the Year in 2016, not Donald Trump). This proposed cover summed it up perfectly:
