It better be Christine Blasey Ford or Jamal Khashoggi.

[kriskross]

Those are my picks as well.

Ia.

For sure

I kinda want it to be Mueller just to see how Trump responds.

Obviously MBS is evil, but I can also completely understand why he's a good candidate for Person of the Year.

Is there something I’m missing when it comes to BTS? Everyone seems so obsessed. But I can’t imagine they’ve done something to be PoTY.

[boweeko]

They haven't done anything noteworthy, they just have rabid internet stans. This is just the online "people's choice" poll, the actual PoTY hasn't been announced yet

YOUR ICON IS TRES BON

Love the icon

i'm very confused about the earth being an option for the reader poll...

anyway i would want dr. ford personally. tho i would love an in depth profile on the separated families. our political attention spans are so short, i feel like the gp has already forgotten them.

Maybe cause of all the natural disasters (fires, hurricanes) and climate reports released this year?

[disasterboss]

i mean i def get that, but not to be all "words mean things" it just would make more sense to have like "climate defenders" or something--its person of the year so i just thought human beings would be the candidates lol.
