Salon Is Unaware of What 'Fiction' Means, Asks If TV's Female Presidents Will Help Kamala's Campaign

We had to double check that this wasn't a post from The Babylon Bee, because it's that hilarious. But no -- it's not satire. It's real.

Salon really thinks (hopes?) that female presidents -- from TELEVISION -- will help Kamala Harris' presidential bid.

From "Scandal" to "Veep," how likely are TV's female presidents to aid Harris' presidential bid? https://t.co/1CBWawla6q

Laugh along with us:

Mellie Grant is right about never having a break from being president, “not for one minute, it's all missiles and treaties and worrying about the safety of the nation every minute of the day.”
But she and other fictional female chief executives aid the public in seeing that women can bear it as well as men.
While speaking to Colbert, he reminded Louis-Dreyfus that in November 2020 she posted on the platform that is now known as X, “’Madam Vice President’ is no longer a fictional character.”
“That was based on my experience on the show ‘Veep,’” she said, “And I’m hoping that I can post a similar thing in November that says, ’Madam President’ is no longer a fictional character.” That, along with the hope that the reality will be better than any script might have imagined.

Oh, please. These are fictional characters.

The writers can literally make them do anything the writers want them to do.

Hahahahahahahahaha

But they're serious.

Exactly this.

In Make Believe Land, which is television and your head, it might help.

In reality, not at all, and you should be ashamed for shilling for a politician like this.

Get f**ked, sincerely;

Everyone
