Let me Make this Pellucidly Clear

[malaise]

Joe Biden should be Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for the record-breaking election results.
Give the man his due- that is all.

[ananda]

1. Agree.

Though, just not being Trump would work for me, lol.

[agingdem]

2. don't say that..it could be Don't Say Gay DeSantis...

[onecaliberal]

3. Recommend.

[GreenWave]

4. Yes! Enough of this MSM cunctation!

[malaise]

5. Had to look that one up

cunctation -
the action of delaying or putting off doing something.

[GreenWave]

6. Now we are equal!

I checked pellucidly moments before and was sad to find no exact English equivalents for paulatinamente "slowly".

[malaise]

8. Haha😀😀

Pellucidly = clear, clear, clear, clear 😀
Is that clear?
Have a nice day!

[Harker]

7. I was just going to look it up...

but I decided to do it later.

[malaise]

9. Bwaaaaah

😀😀😀😀

[Shrike47]

26. Sure sounds like a dirty word, even if it's not. Thanks for expanding my vocabulary!

[GreenWave]

28. Seems like it.

Here is another one:
Pusillanimous (cowardly) as in
The latest GOP politician pusillanimously agreed to soft ball questions on Faux Noise.

[Walleye]

30. I had a high school English teacher who used to like to use that one

[Tommymac]

10. I disagree.

He should be Person of the Decade so far.

[malaise]

11. He's not even on their short list

Fuck Time

[Tommymac]

13. Really?????????

Pass the lube please.

[Raster]

14. And it would send tRump* into orbit!

[malaise]

15. and a few others

[Pepsidog]

16. Joe, Nancy, and or Zelensky.

[DENVERPOPS]

34. My vote would be Joe

we would all be deafened by Republican Heads exploding across the entire nation.......And especially three men, two down in Florida and one in Texas..... LOLOL

[tritsofme]

17. This year belongs to Zelenskyy.

[underpants]

20. Almost definitely from time's criteria.

[IronLionZion]

18. And the tremendous legislation passed despite GOP obstruction

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. I agree

[wendyb-NC]

21. Absolutely right

He certainly deserves it. Much has been accomplished by him and the Democrats in congress.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. This short list is dumb

[wnylib]

23. I agree about Biden, but not for the election results.

I'd say for his record accomplishments in two years but especially for his leadership in uniting the world to protect democracy in Ukraine.

I would also be very pleased if it was President Zelenskyy. His leadership in defending democracy in the face of Russian brutality is phenomenal.

[BlackSkimmer]

24. The Person of the Year is not always chosen for good reasons.

People forget this.

[First Speaker]

25. Exactly--Hitler, Stalin and Khomeini were all selected...

[BlackSkimmer]

27. Yep, and every year I see people here claiming one of our Dem faves should be named.

The point is often missed lol.

[Tommy Carcetti]

29. It will likely be Zelensky.

And it will be well-earned.

Like some others have pointed out, Person of the Year is not always an honor for good behavior. It just means they've been the most newsworthy person of the year, for reasons good or bad.

President Biden--along with Vice President Harris--won in 2020 after their election, and that makes sense. You know I love him, but I don't know if losing the House by a far slimmer margin than expected or potentially expanding the Senate majority by a single seat is as momentous as one might think for POY honors.

Geopolitically, the Russia-Ukraine War has been the biggest story to emerge out of this year. (We still have other stories, like COVID, economy, climate change, but those are more year to year type of stories). Zelensky's resolve--and how it travels down to the Ukrainian people in general--has been one of the biggest narratives of that story.

I just hope it's not a cop-out like some large, unnamed group or subset of people. I hate when they do that. I think the worst was when they named "You" the Person of the Year.

"You" as in all of us, in the digital age. It was stupid.

[SYFROYH]

31. Why pellucidly clear?

Doesnt pellucid mean translucent which means some light come through but the medium is cloudy?

[EarnestPutz]

35. Don't go there. I've tried before. He did say recently that his favorite new word is "vexatious"....

.....though he really likes pellucidly.

[malaise]

37. She

😀

[BlackSkimmer]

38. It's just a brand of some sort. Pay no mind.

If the poster says “ take that to the bank”….well, best not.

[EarnestPutz]

40. Your perspective is exactly right. Thank you for the good advice.

[spanone]

32. K&R

[Bev54]

33. I vote for a tie with Biden and Zelensky

[BlackSkimmer]

39. Lol,,if they judged from the posts on DU, it would be tfg, musk, hannity, or Kanye.

That group generates a lot of DU posts.

No idea why.

[SheltieLover]

36. Absolutely!
