Vice President Kamala Harris has selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, capping the Midwestern Democrat’s short but swift ascent from a relative unknown to a leading driver of the party’s attacks on Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda.
No he isn’t, it’s comparing the two, one is Walz (D) signing a law to bring free lunches for school children in his state, the other is sarah huckabee ® signing a law to claw back child labor laws in her state
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!
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.
There was a ton of ambiguity in the initial statement. I had to read the statement twice and look at the pictures for a moment before I understood the context in my daily morning brain fog. So I don’t fault them for asking their initial question.
What I do fault them for is doubling down after the explanations.

I’m not really sure why that would be relevant in this context. Was Huckabee running for VP? Why include her?

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!
I was being a little too aggressive about it, I had a long morning. Sorry.
