My goal with Goliath is to *teach.*

I supported the war in Iraq because fancy people told me too and, having gone to Harvard, I thought fancy institutions had integrity. I didn't see cruelty because I didn't want to see it.

I resolved, never again would I endorse cruelty.
You have to understand about elite circles, it's a snobby club. And those who bring up errors or problems 'just don't get it.' It's why Hillary Clinton attacked @TulsiGabbard as a Russian asset. Tulsi isn't in the club.
@TulsiGabbard Bernie Sanders definitely is not in the club, and though she has paid her dues, neither is Elizabeth Warren. Trump's main sin isn't endless corruption, it's that he violated club norms. Gary Cohn didn't quit over Trump dallying with Nazis but over tariffs!
@TulsiGabbard I'm in the Dem establishment, and I spent a lot of time pointing out Obama was a bad President. It's something no one in the establishment says out loud, but it has to be said. However Obama didn't do it alone. It takes a village.

We need to learn.

@TulsiGabbard And now I will defend the Dem establishment. We are learning. We aren't stupid, we know the Clinton and Obama eras were catastrophic. We saw Trump. It's why new policy ideas are emerging like antitrust. But we have a lot to atone for. We were the bad guys.
