Amazon's Alexa is intentionally programmed to be biased on questions regarding Trump and Harris.

I wonder if this is like charges Facebook is biased against them and blocking them amd not promoting their garbage, even though that was a widget and not the algorithm pumping out home page content.
It's a product from a privtlate company. They don't like it? Don't use it. All this shows is MAGA is just as overly entitled as the CCP who pressures companies into catering to what it wants and expects. And more evidence they don't actually believe in having a free market as they claim.
The CCP are absolutely clear about their priorities and what is in their five year plans.
That do support those plans with loans grants etc. however unlike. The USA that do not ban their companies from trading with the USA, but they can and do ban government departments from doing so. The. USA even forces bans on their allies to not trade with China.

The algorithms used by social media reinforces a person's own biases. The more you search and watch things, the more similar stuff is fed to you. This includes political biass.

I'm thinking of how China pressures people into appologizing if they refer to Taiwan as an independent nation and coerce Hollywood into showing maps they approve of (Barbie) or even downplay and remove symbols of Americana in American movies (like how they wanted the Statue of Liberty obscured in the Spiderman movie No Way Home).

Thier actually designed to feed you things that will maximize your engagement time, and a lot of the time it isn't what you asked for. This has led many to fall through social media rabbit holes and lies outweigh the truth when profits, clicks, and maximizing user engagement time are the goals. Researchers have even documented clusters of topics and videos where on leads to another, even if you aren't looking for it (like how searching legit vaccine info, groups and videos get anti-vax crap fed into it).
One of my own personal anecdotes is with Spotify, where I am frequently recommended country even though I don't listen to it or like it. On Youtube, Godzilla amd classic music lead to a video about the "human body vs a nuclear bomb." I didn't watch it, but it's easy to see how this unrelated, not searched for and a great gateway into the fear and knee jerking videos that meet the goals of the algorithms and have stirred violence around the world.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

I still think the Statue of Liberty ought to be made mobile and given to the country that scores highest on the Freedom and Liberty index on yearly basis.

It actually is rigged to outright lie to people who query on information for presidential/political candidates.

A prime example of typical left wing deception.
What on earth does this supposedly have to do with "left wing deception?"

Also, I have to say that if someone is relying on Alexa to tell them who to vote for, they're not that serious to begin with.
