    "The tacit admission in the tweet above is that the Iowa caucus matters mostly as a pseudo-event, that is in being talked about and that for an increasingly short window of time—maybe one morning’s news cycle … maybe. Without that, what good is it?"

    The other relevant theorist would've been Paul Virilio, of course: "When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash" ... when you invent the voting app you also invent the further erosion of democratic legitimacy.
