Timers here were a Right Wing mod idea, and it has been carried out on the main Politics stream by Right Wing mods. As far as I know, there has literally been just one single sitewide community mod who is not Right Wing here. Even if by any chance it hasn't been that way, it has been the case since timers began, just one single site mod who can be said to lean somewhat more Liberal, and he does not mod the Politics stream.
The user that you are referring to has been here years longer than you. If that is an issue for you, no one is stopping you from leaving.
