    Reminder Time’s Person of the Year is based on how they influenced the year not if someone was good or bad. E.g. It’s been Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, and FDR in that consecutive order before.

    This is the real Person of the Year. Don’t listen to that fanfic bullshit that named Elon’s girlfriend.

            Lol every fucking year people don’t get what Times Person of the Year is. It’s not a popularity contest, it’s which person dominated the media landscape in that year and how much that person influenced the year. Hitler and Stalin were also person of the year.

      Just a reminder that Jury Nullification means you can decide that someone is guilty of a crime, but their actions were justified. This has historically been used to free people who aided escaping slaves in Northern courts.
