Contemporary political timelines often seem to do a whole lot of telling and not so much showing. A set of dates with extra words and stock photos attached, emotionally distant and colorless.
"Here are some poll results" versus "What does a campaign volunteer see and hear as they knock on doors in suburban Atlanta?"
"President passed a law fixing the price of insulin" versus "Today a father of three injected a full dosage of insulin because he no longer had to ration it in exchange for making rent payments".
"Candidate X won the East Virginia primary" versus "I spent six hours sitting in a plastic chair at the community centre, arguing with these other dumb fucks who want to support Candidate Y or Z instead of X."
"President so-and-so authorized the bombing of Whereverstan" versus "It's my daughter's birthday but I'm here in a desert loading avgas into an F-15E."
Anyway.
