    Time Person of the Year Shortlist

    As I predicted, the #MeToo movement is a finalist; and as others have predicted Donald Trump is too.

    http://time.com/5026497/time-person-...ear-2017-poll/

    Who do you think will win?

    I think Mueller is also a strong candidate.

    #MeToo is not a person, it's a collectivist identity group and not an individual as the Me would imply. English is getting trashed.

    Mueller on the short list is laughable, he's done nothing to merit person of the year.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I don't think anyone on the short list should be it. The first woman who came out publicly about Harvey Weinstien should be the person of the year, IMO. Her actions empowered other victims to tell their stories as well, and has brought the spotlight onto sexual abuse in the workplace.

    Isn’t she included in the #MeToo group?



    Should there be another group, say “#WomenScorned”, such as the Trump and Moore accusers?
