Although I think Doctor Fauci and Health care workers should have been there, too! We had a big choice this year.

Today was the first I'd heard that term. I don't know whether it's an annual thing or if they did it just this year.

Hes been thirsting after this for years. He's going to hate that it's not him, but he'll hate even MORE that its Biden and Harris! And I'm just petty enough to enjoy the Schadenfreude.

Just to fuck with Trump. I expected Dr. Fauci and front line workers to win it, but Biden and Harris are also worthy picks. Harris as VP-elect is historical, and in normal times, it would be an easy choice.

But, yeah. It's still an appropriate choice, regardless. I was actually hoping they'd give it to Kamala alone. As Joe Biden would say, what she just did is a big fucking deal.
