They might make an echo chamber that causes a given party to think they will win and thus less people show to the polls.

Do people think China wants Trump? Because everyone on tiktok apparently thought this was going to be a Harris landslide victory.

Yeah, that's kinda how all social media algos work. You get bucketed in with the content you engage with and watch the most ie the stuff you likely (but not necessarily!) agree with the most already. It's almost as if TikTok's algo isn't any different than FB or IG or X.
