Poll: Who do you think will be TIME's Person of the Year for 2023?

[ificandream]

I took the nominees from the list on SportsGeek.com, which lists the current odds of who'll win. I left off one name on their list - Lionel Messi - because I think his chances are practically nil, even though the odds for some names are longer than his. Zelenskyy won last year.

TIME will reveal its choice on Dec. 10

1. What? No option for national treasure and America's sweetheart George Santos?

Actually, it should be either Biden or Fascism/Authoritarianism, although I think Netanyahu could be in the running as well.

2. Good point about Netanyahu.

Surprised he's not on the odds list.

[nevergiveup]

3. Taylor Swift has got this.

She is a breath of fresh air and cheer and optimism in a very troubled and scary world.

[milestogo]

10. She's a sweetheart.

Most performers are pretty arrogant by the time they get to "diva" stage. She's not.

4. Want: Biden / Think: Swift

There's a lot of wishful thinking going on in all of those Biden votes. It would be nice, but it's not going to happen.

[Tree Lady]

5. I voted for Taylor not as a fan

but because she is starting a movement getting out the vote and mobilizing her fans to vote. This has been done before but she has more fans and is drven to help women.

16. It's marvelous what she's doing.

It's great to see such a positive force for any age in these crazy times.

[milestogo]

6. No Jack Smith?

[Oopsie Daisy]

7. Next year.

(Fingers crossed.)

[milestogo]

8. King Charles is a racist, adulterous prick.

And what exactly has he done this year that's worth a mention?

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. Actually

Being a racist, adulterous prick is one of Time's criteria. I mean, Charles Lindberg was the first Person of the Year.

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. My personal choice is

George Santos 🤣🤣🤣

[broiles]

11. Jack Smith.

[Voltaire2]

12. A.I. nt

[Polybius]

13. Seems like more than half the people got the question wrong

It's NOT "Who do you want TIME's Person of the Year for 2023" to be, it's "Who do you think will be TIME's Person of the Year for 2023."

As much as we all want Biden to win it, he won't this year. That will be next year, when he beats Trump again.

[elocs]

14. I must admit, I don't really care so I voted "pass".

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

15. Where's the don't give a sh*t option?

Because this is something that never interested me, especially not from a magazine that has often made demonstrably awful people (like, oh, Hitler) its person of the year.

It's a stupid and meaningless attempt at relevance.

[brooklynite]

17. This poll is largely meaningless. Here's the actual short-list from TIME.

Hollywood strikers
Xi Jinping
Sam Altman
Trump Prosecutors
Barbie
Vladimir Putin
King Charles III
Jerome Powell

[pinkstarburst]

19. Out of that list, I hope it's Barbie

Or I guess the trump prosecutors.
