Definition
Political gatherings where party members meet to nominate candidates, elect delegates, or argue about policy until someone gives up. It's democracy's most confusing participation trophy, especially in Iowa, where the rules seem designed by someone who hates both efficiency and transparency. Essentially, it's a meeting where political insiders pretend regular people have a say.
Example Usage
The Iowa caucuses kicked off the presidential primary season with their usual chaos and confusion.
