Losing US Senate candidate Bruce Whalen claims candidates were selected by an “algorithm”

@SoDakCampaigns

You have to wonder whether people are spending a little too much time on the Internet. Case in point would be Bruce Whalen, who badly lost the primary for US Senate against US Senator John Thune.

Because Bruce is out on facebook claiming some sort of fix was in as to why he lost. It was because of the algorithms:

If you listen to Bruce, his loss has nothing to do with the fact that US Senator John Thune is immensely popular, or that on the campaign trail he explained Jesus was coming for the rapture and the tribulation was going to hit, told people that they should take sheep dewormer for covid, and talked about stoning people and treating politicians with dewormer.

Nope. It was an “algorithm deployed during the primary selected Democrats.”

In one of the posts I linked, I noted that Bruce should get off the stage, because he was damaging the Republican brand by spouting off crazy stuff.

Obviously he hasn’t taken the advice.

  2. Is Bruce smoking the same strain the out of state commenters are over that the Nebraska based stoner blog called Dakota Free Press? All of them have cleaned out the shelves of tin foil.

  3. My goal is to earn the respect of the people to vote for me to represent them in the Legislature. I want to be a member of the legislature one day, I want to place myself on the ballot in 2024 or 2026. But I am not going to get mad if I lose. Its all a matter of luck, and popularity in a popular vote contest. If the voters say no, I simply walk away, there is no reason to fret about it. I may not concede though, cause I would contest the results to force an audit to take place, and to make sure the election was legit, but after that, well, I am not going to attack people for their vote. I am a bible thumping patriot, so I want to do what is good by god.

    If Bruce thought there is a potential for fraud or some form of scheme, then he should took the matter to a court room.

  4. So it’s not “the establishment” which rigs the primaries, it’s an evil algorithm?

    The fringe is all for the voice of The People, until The People go to the polls and vote for the wrong candidates. Then they declare that the primary “didn’t work,” and it’s the party’s fault. Or the algorithm’s.

    1. I do not understand all these differences in opinion, I have no knowledge of how alorithms work. perhaps, there could be some link to Poll Centers and how they attempt to divide people, creating some sense of instructing people how to vote, perhaps there could be some election scheme occurring how political parties manipulate the process of elections, let alone, there could be found in an investigation, that election boards or county auditors of states could be conspiring to manipulate the absentee ballot process. WHO KNOWS.

      The facts are – many, and I mean, several Americans are now questioning far more issues concerning the effects of public elections, and political parties are conspiring to invent, or to control the manner of who gets to choose, or not choose their candidates.

      I am every much a huge Supporter of South Dakota, let alone I want the REPUBLIC of free people to treat each other fair, impartial, and honest.

      I blame both the Republican Party, as much as the Democrat Party in how it has manipulated the process of holding elections, let alone changed the laws of how we elect specific positions.

      The “Party” is in fact its own worst nightmare, the party has extremists on both sides, and then there are people like myself stuck in the middle trying to bridge that gap between the two outer wings of the party.

      I am so sick and tired of the in house fighting, neither side of the Party is listening, let alone considering the other sides viewpoints, opinions, thoughts, and beliefs.

      I have tried NOT to attack anyone, let alone insult another person, I have tried to find some form of common balance between the left vs right side of the Party…

      No way, can I vote Democrat, but if a “Conservative, Constitutional Member” of the Democrat Party comes forward, I would support them just as much as I would support the same member of a Republican Party.

      The bad thing is, I truly believe the S.D Republican Party has been hijacked by former members of the S.D Democrat Party in order to move the party to the left, and it has worked out well for most democrats…

      As I read these comments on these forums, I am saddened by the lack of respect that some have for their fellow South Dakotans, let alone Americans. They hide behind fake names, the word Anonymous, form their moms basement..it is scary how some of you have mistreated each other, all cause you may have varying level of opinions.

      John Thune, Mike Rounds, Dusty Johnson are so popular cause they are giving you all what you so desire, TON of Federal Tax Monies even though the country is in debt. You use this mentality that, “Oh well, the other states take the money, so its ok, we an take it to with no disregard of where the money comes from”

      Stop speaking out two sides of your mouths, stick to your beliefs, convictions, God’s word, let alone keep to your Oaths …

      Are you “Career Politicians” or are you Statesmen, NOT concerned with getting re-elected?
