Times always chooses the election winner as person of the year. This isn’t some honorific, they’ve done it for decades.
They’ve selected horrible people as “person of the year” in times past. It’s about impact, and there’s no denying that Donald Trump has given rise to a gigantic cult of personality and amplified/emboldened/propelled the worst people in societies around the globe.
The impact he’s had on the world is immense and terrible.
I seriously don’t understand why they did not choose kamala. given biden stepping down and her running. I feel she was most impactful for 2024. Hes going to be very impactful in the coming years unfortunately but honestly I feel kamala would have made a better choice.
If she were most impactful wouldn’t she have won?
no. I think not winning sorta makes her more impactful. Again if you look at just this year she was center to biden running at the start to her running in the middle and trump winning in the end. Im not one to blame her for the loss but many folks do. I mean the roller coaster of opinions and feelings and energy around her sorta defines this year to me.
