Honestly I think the moderators are fair, for the most part, my suspension in 2019 being an exception.
There are plenty of left and right posters on here, it's balanced.
From a perspective of a moderate, this site is quite right leaning. Probably 60-80% of the political posts are from a right wing editor. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many foaming at the mouth opinions being spouted.
I see that mine and a few others comments get deleted for being pro trump or make a comment that someone doesn’t agree with and a mod will delete it.
I think it is left leaning, but probably not for the reasons you state.
Moderators/Administrators are just like the rest of us, some hard left, some hard right, with most in the middle.
I have seen people complaining that being critical of Trump has gotten their posts banned in much the same way you think being pro-Trump has gotten your posts deleted.
In theory they all should be straight down the middle neutral, not playing favorites based on their own ideology/politics.
Sometimes, it was not your post that caused the deletion, rather you quoting someone else that said something worthy of deletion.
Or it could be you were posting a political opinion in a section where it is not allowed. I have made that mistake because I will see an interesting thread title to the right, click on it, and not realize it has brought me into a different section of the forum (i.e. Current Events).
Anyway, if you inquire respectfully and ask a mod why they deleted your post, most will take the time to explain it to you.
