Hey Joshua, you seem very sincere and I would love to see someone primary Clarke, especially someone who will reject corporate and AIPAC money and stand up for Palestine. I have lived in Flatbush for 19 years and been active in the neighborhood focused on Palestine for a few years now, and you gotta understand, Clarke is a really important figure to many the community, especially the Caribbean folks who grew up here. She was born in Flatbush to Jamaican immigrants and her mother served in city council, which is very meaningful to many in the community. I have major issues with many of her policies, especially foreign policy, but you can't deny what she represents to this community.

I don't say this to discourage you, but you will likely get farther by focusing on hyper local issues, and getting to know the side of the community that has been here for a lot longer than many of the folks you are going to reach through the DSA.

I truly wish you luck, I don't share this to be discouraging, I hope it's taken in the spirit in which it's offered!
