It is considered polite to give your opinion and your reasons. Double-spaced is fine, footnotes and bibliography.

Greta!

Greta Thunberg.

Greta is a pretty good pick in my opinion. But no one in the poll even slightly deserves it except maybe the Hong Kong protestors.

Greta thunberg.

Also, the poll is missing her as a choice.

Well, I think was designated Person of the Year. This thread is on who should have gotten it other than her.

I can understand the Hong Kong protestors grievances with China, but their protests seem to be rightist in orientation and not bringing up things like, I don't know, inequality. Or that's what I''ve read anyway. As for the whisteblower, while I don't support Trump, I don't see how asking that a relative of Joe Biden be investigated is a bad thing, even if it would benefit Trump. That's part of what his supporters put him in for ("drain the swamp") and I am not a whore for Biden. He is not sacred just because his an opponent of Trump.

I've never read much about Nancy Pelosi apart from her attempts to impeach Trump, but she actually looks half decent.

Greta Thunberg. You should add her to the poll, she was a very influential person this year! /s

It is literally an option in your poll and an opinion shared by many in the other thread.

Are these type of threads really necessary? They immediately turn into a deluge of tangential conversations and NSG-related messes.

That’s a good point. Well then it’s the hong kong protestors.

*shrug* Necessary? No. If we started banning threads that turn into a deluge of tangential conversations and NSG-related messes all that would be left would be the sports threads and TET.

Everybody's a politician on NationStates, am I right?

Mr. Beast, because he has probably done more for the environment than Greta ever will.

It's especially the ones that feature Greta Thunberg or the person of the year that turn into giant messes. I just don't understand making that big a fuss on whoever should be person of the year or whoever shouldn't have been person of the year.

That depends whether you think Trump is addressing inequality.
