INTERACTIONS ‘The Republican Party is a cult’: Trump challenger Joe Walsh drops out of 2020 race after being booed during Iowa Caucus
/LittleVillage READER POLL: Which of the four flavors are you?
Couldn’t stand this angry birther Tea Party loudmouth and was happy he was not re-elected, but at least he now shows he has a tiny bit of decency. I welcome that, but nevertheless wouldn’t vote for him in any election. —Marcia C.C. Wow, that video of an entire room of people unable to take even a tiny bit of criticism is sad, but telling. They start booing and yelling like children who need a timeout! —Alex D. Caucus-pocalypse, day 3: An almost-finished count, phone trolls, a hackable app and a call to recanvass We should also acknowledge the elephant in the room, that Pete Buttigieg is specifically questioning the results of the satellite precincts. These satellite precincts are new
23.3% Bitter 20% Sour
6.7% Sweet as of this year, and only exist to increase voter turnout of traditionally underrepresented communities. As far as I know, the Sanders campaign is the only campaign that made any organized attempt to engage with the issues that are important to these communities and encouraged these voters to participate. These satellites are far more diverse, and therefore likely more

ANXIETY As a comedian, I try to stay up to date on the latest trends and issues. If I’m going to make people laugh, I need to know what they care about (and, more importantly, what they hate. When the fickle tide of public opinion turns against someone or something, from a celebrity accused of sexual misconduct to those tiny ’90s sunglasses people were wearing for a while, comedians are the sharks circling below.) Unfortunately, as a person, I am terrible at knowing what’s going on. At any given moment, I’m at best 25 percent in actual, physical reality. I cannot name a single movie that’s out right now. I know there’s nothing more irritating than someone who’s proud of their utter self-absorption, and I’m not. I’m just way too lazy to do anything about it. That said, I’m very excited to get in on the latest hot trend sweeping the nation: anxiety. Actually, not to sound like a hipster, but I’m glad the rest of you are getting in on it with me. All my life I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop. If I have a cough, it’s cancer. If I start dating a great guy, he secretly finds me repellent and just can’t find a good way to tell me. If something’s good, no it’s not. This used to be considered a bad thing. People would tell me I was “cynical” or “a good candidate for therapy.” Now, all that’s considered more or less normal. My mother called me last week, asking if I knew where she could buy surgical masks, because she’s worried about getting coronavirus. On Caucus Night, people I went to high school with, who couldn’t have named three world leaders then, posted pictures from their caucus locations with captions like, “Just doing my part to repair our hobbled democracy.” I know a woman who has a Google alert for “global warming.” Can you even imagine? I sure am glad to be so well-adjusted. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Sephora. I had to get rid of most of my makeup, because it all had parabens in it. They’re the silent killer, you know.
