    Primarily because I was sharing how the photos are linked in my memory.

    They’re also chronologically similar, happening within a week of each.

    Lastly, they demonstrate stark differences in policies: a win for the new VP pick who, in my opinion, shows someone who actually cares about children and families.

      Ok but do you know how many US Governors there are? 55. You picked one at random and threw it into a comment about a totally different person, place, and circumstance. People might mistakenly think Walz was somehow involved in that shitshow.

        I can see this from your perspective now, perhaps my context was lacking. I felt it evident as a recollection but those without the context may misinterpret.

        Edit: I’ve added context, thanks for pressing your point!

          As another perspective - it took me a moment or two to work out what was happening in the second picture, but then the whole tableau made sense to me!

        It took me a bit of morning brain fog processing to understand the context. But then it hit me.

        Tim Walz has a history of delighting and helping people, and the excitement of the people (especially the kids) in the room we elated and the picture captured that.

        In the other picture, the people that were being "helped’ (again the kids) looked unimpressed and even a little letheragic.

        It’s a comparison of how one person & their party can excite & delight while the other person & their party depress.
