Results have in in for almost 2 weeks now and NOBODY is talking about the Primary results? WTF Guys I thought you would be all over this $#!+
Out of 846,543 registered voters in the state only 281,214 allegedly voted in the primaries. That's only 33.2% of the overall population of the state who voted!
And there are 210,805 Dems who voted by mail leaving only 47,250 Republican who voted by mail.
The in person numbers are abysmal, it didn't help either that in counties like mine there was only one in person voting center and the rest was all drop boxes! I waited until the morning of election day to put my ballot in the nearest drop box
(to give them less room to re-tabulate the vote).
As a kid growing up, we used to go to the Elementary School on Election day to vote! COVID is over dumb$#!+$, no moar excuses!
2,682 Dems voted in person while 3,120 republicans voted in person.

Also I DO NOT buy that Kawakami of Kauai beat Bellatti for LT Gov Dem nomination by 85,002 votes!
Where the f@#% did those 85K votes come from? I figured there would be enough Oahu and Maui voters who would have never heard of him!
They selected this mother f@#%3r, that pissant is a terrible mayor on Kauai and he SHOULD NOT BECOME OUR LT GOVERNOR!!!




On the brighter side of things Jarrett didn't overthrow Ed Case...

Hawaii doesn't need a Lt. Governor.  No state does.

Tell me who are the "mailers", ballot harvesters?

Does Kawakami have a network that marks off which houses are planning to vote for him, sends out said harvesters to those houses to pick up their sealed mail-in ballots under the assumption that the individuals from said houses all casted votes for him?
If that's the game, then is Bellatti really that stupid or did the entire Democrat party machine pool all their resources into Kawakami being Josh Green's answer to a "come back" Lt Governor after Sylvia Luke got investigated by the Feds?




If Democrat party (Guys at the top) already decide who their next LT Governor is going to be, then why would you run a primary at all? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the election process "by the people for the people"
Its like every Democrat competitor in every primary race ever is a non-vote, if Bellati had any self respect, her campaign should be anonymously blowing the whistle to the Feds that even among their own ranks the game is rigged!


This is why I can't stand the filth on the left, never mind the true criminals who lie and manipulate the system in their favor!
The REAL filth on the left, are the folks who are complicit enough to not be offended when the party chooses another candidate for them! You can disagree with Trump but to both hate him with TDS levels and never call out you own party when they do something as blatantly corrupt as rig the game against a candidate that you otherwise would have picked is all kinds of DISGUSTING! Grow some spine you God D@mned worms, do you ever pull your heads outta your own @$$3$ for a minute to wonder why the DSA backed candidates are taking over your f@#%!ng party! YOU, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!

Being a cuck with suicidal empathy and letting the aggressive droogs lie, cheat, and rig their way into power isn't going to satiate your desire for a revenge against the fabled "meany orange man" you are battered over the head with day and night from the media!
You are going to be miserable, deprived of your rights, you will never be able to fish because every body of water will be a "protected sanctuary", your service is going to continue to suck because nobody will give a $#!+ working a $#!+ job so expect long socialist lines, delays and nobody communicating back with you ever, your healthcare quality will continue to plummet until unbridled assisted-suicide would be advertised all over town like a god d@mned iPhone commercial, your kids (if you have any!) will be disadvantaged in schools because they are the wrong "gender", the wrong "religion", the wrong "thinking", the wrong "orientation", criminals will be allowed to rob your home, beat you to a bloody pulp and if you or your loved one fights back with so much as a walking cane or a kitchen knife the law will ignore the plain as day facts that they are old or disabled and will throw them in the slammer among the few grapists they will keep around the underfunded prisons! Homeless people will be allowed to take $#!+$ in front of public resturants, even your own manicured lawn, but why stop there they will also be allowed to $#!+ in the hallway to your own china style apartment you chose to compromise owning over a real home!

If any of the above sounds like the future you want to live in then I have three words for you GO...TO...HELL!!

For Kawakami vs Belatti, it was won with spending and advertising.  Kawakami spent $700k and the PAC For a Better Tomorrow (Carpenters and contractors union) spent $2 million.  For Bellati it was $230k campaign spending and $57k PAC (Gov Employees union) spending.

Belatti is the progresive candidate getting endorsements by the progressive orgs and votes for the gun control bills.

Kawakami is the moderate, and stayed away from the crazy stuff.  He's also been neutral on the gun control stuff as Mayor and is a hunter.  In the past, our Kauai gun rights allies encouraged him to stay out of the gun control stuff.

We've hisorically had low turnout numbers because of the strong democrat majority.  We also have automatic voter registration here and people don't get taken off the rolls if they don't vote.

For the republicans, it's a feeling of hopelessness and no strong republican contenders that have a chance of winning.  For the republican party would need a very deep and active grassroots initiative to win.  They aren't going to compete with funds, so they need a massive amount of people to put in a significant amount of time and effort.

I heard a pretty ridiculous ad on the radio for Belatti.
Stanford Carr endorsed her because according to Carr she is not in league with the
big developers.. So said Stanford Carr one of the biggest developers in the State.

If Kawakami is such a moderate on the Gun Control issue, then why doesn't Kauai have a publicly accessible shooting range like Kokohead on Oahu? If you want to so much as plink there's no safe space to do it where you won't get treated like a criminal by the cops and BTW NOT EVERYONE HAS PRIVATE PROPERTY to practice on, let alone hunt on!

I do not buy for one god d@mned minute that Kawakami is a true moderate. Josh Green pulled a similar tactic when running against Vicky Cayetano, he ran as a moderate, won the nomination and turned out to be wokeAF once he got elected governor. F@#%!ng snake!

So the state could have a record amount of crime, lax punishment for said crimes, homelessness, petty crime, kids acting up everywhere, no sense of law enforcement except when it is used against the tax paying citizenry or the tourists, lack of affordable housing for the many nurses that could backfill our already crumbling hospital systems in the outer islands (I'm sick of flying people into Oahu for special treatments and procedures), the tourist season that never ends, endless red tape that restricts citizens from being able to rebuild places like Lahaina, bull$#!+ environmental regulations that keep us refining low grade fossil fuels for our state's gas supply (hello that's why your gas is expensive f@#% Hormuz), why you can't buy 100 SPF sunscreen because some reef group told the politicians it's "killing the reef", no economic opportunities outside of opening another bull$#!+ taco restaurant, or the takeover of foodtrucks etc.

With all that in mind, the people will still vote democrat? Unless the Republicans have folks who are charismatic enough to make the aunties cr3@m themselves?!

Is it safe to say Gary Cordery is gonna lose and Green is gonna continue to grape our state into a WEF sponsored retirement home for the elites who will step on all of us poor people, stuff us into container homes and make us eat crickets!



If you answer yes, then maybe Trump should consider revoking our Statehood status and revert this place back into a US Territory, no food stamps, no federal assistance, no welfare, just the military control everything so we can maintain our base in the pacific!
