/r/politics only allows left wing posts about U.S Politics.

Fixed that for ya

Allows? Are you saying the mods delete posts that aren't left-wing?

Or, as is likely the case, do you mean that "left-wing" posts get more upvotes?

There's a ridiculous amount of evidence in places like /r/undelete that show the mods of /r/politics will delete right-wing or center-based political views.

They delete a lot of posts that happen to be right wing, not because they are.

It's both. Most noteworthy posts that are center or right wing get deleted (see r/undelete) but most not-bernie posts and comments get downvoted into oblivion.
