In order for any truly "progressive" Hawaii movement to take root, there must be a wholesale rejection of the Hawaii Democratic Party (they guys who voted Hillary in the DNC, rather than the popular vote winner, Bernie Sanders). In case you a political noob to Hawaii style politics, please allow me to point out the paradoxical reality that in Hawaii, the Neocons are more likely to be card-carrying Hawaii Democrats because that is where the power is.
Also note that the Hawaii GOP isn't anymore influential than the Green Party or the American Shopping Party.
Hawaii "Democracy" is like the Borg Cube. Resistance is futile.
