Long and informative piece on the Koch brothers pulling back from this year's presidential race.

Koch allies say the brothers took tremendous interest in Bernie Sanders’ unlikely success — particularly his resonance with young voters who represent the future of the electorate — and drew stark conclusions about their own efforts. “Dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into elections doesn’t persuade enough people to achieve lasting change,” one Koch confidante says. “To achieve lasting change, the effort has to begin much earlier.”

Dumping hundreds of millions of dollars at getting the votes of a rapidly shrinking demographic doesn't persuade enough people to achieve lasting change, it's true.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If people want to waste millions of dollars, they should give it to me instead of some political candidate.

Or me! I'll be happy to waste their millions. Hell, I'm happy to share the millions-wasting opportunity. :)

I would also subscribe to the millions of dollars being wasted. I have many ways that I could waste it.
