Next time you see your great-granddad, ask him what he thinks about interracial marriages.
(That is basically the level of your argument, in case this isn't readily obvious.)

It isn't like any polynesians had a navy capable of transporting the people and resources needed to conquer the islands. Nor was there economic value in such an endeavor. Refugees and explorers showing up and assimilating? Absolutely. A conquering force? Not a chance.
Maori didn't quite conquer New Zealand that way (there was no-one to conquer it from), but they definitely did assemble a fleet large enough to be an invasion force.
The royal family of the Hawaiians may not even call themself so, it is illegal under the american constitution.
Care to cite the relevant part?
Golden Dawn is by all accounts a neo-Nazi party (heck, all it takes is a single look at their official flag to confirm that). It's amusing when neo-Nazis refer to themselves as liberals, but don't expect anyone to be fooled.
It's banned in Russia under the local laws on extremism.
Just FYI, Texas and its balls are largely a creation of a PR campaign. Even as far as "keep your guns" goes, Texas is not the most gun-friendly state in the union, nor the one with most people carrying. It's just the one that people think of first when they hear "guns", and vice versa.
Do you support the Golden Dawn?
Those "lynching parties" aren't actually legal, even under the strictest Sharia interpretation. They are just tolerated, similar to how lynchings of blacks were tolerated in the South despite being illegal by law.
Historically, it's actually the other way around - the reason why Islam (and other religions and cultures similar in that respect) has provisions for polygamy in the first place is because it started as a rather warlike religion with inevitable casualties among the young males who shoulder the burden of the war. It's also why polygamy is not generally encouraged in Islam, and was originally promoted by Muhammad as a means to ensure that all those widowed females have a caretaker. Of course, over time it simply evolved into more wives for richer people, but that's a different conversation.
Do you also get out of your car to defrost the rear window?
I thought it's outright illegal to ask age-related questions to candidates?
You don't need to be writing software for airplanes to understand the notion of an overflowing counter, and why you'd want to use a 64-bit int for it just in case.
The main reason why people recommend it is because of what happens if you mix signed and unsigned. If they are of the same size (e.g. signed int and unsigned int), then according to the spec, the result will be unsigned. So you divide, say, -2 by 1u, and get something very unexpected. If you always use the same signedness, then you can dodge this problem, and in general you do want to represent negative numbers every now and then, hence the default is signed.
In practice it doesn't work so well simply because so much of the language and the standard library uses unsigned anyway. For example, sizeof is unsigned, and so is strlen(), and in C++, size() on all the standard container types, including string. So if you want to write C or C++, you have to deal with signed/unsigned mismatch anyway.
You want to play this game? Fine. I'm well within the 1% of US by income, and while the majority of my income isn't from capital gains, they are a sizable contribution due to stock bonuses and such. I'm quite okay with making personal income tax more progressive, and raising capital gains tax to match personal income, even though that would mean more money taken out of my pocket every year. Why? Well, perhaps because I don't want another Baltimore in my neighborhood?
He doesn't necessarily need to win to produce some tangible change. If he gets enough votes in the primaries, that alone will send a clear signal to mainline Dems that they should pay more attention to the left.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
