"Others" = silent majority, that some people like to ignore / pretend do not exist.
The Others certainly exist.
On this topic however, what is pretended is that the Others are silent, and that they're a majority. If you read the reports and polls you'll find they're neither:
75%+ in Hawaii are in favor of building the TMT
90% are against Kahele's land use proposals for Mauna Kea
Kahele received 0% of his constituents vote in order to represent them
