The Right Played Hardball in Congress. The Left Should Take Notes. Far-left Jacobin magazine admires what MAGA Republicans did in Congress. Trump's Freedom Caucus racked up significant policy wins.

Pretty sure the left (actual left, not liberals) hate the swamp as much as MAGA does

Huh? They cheer the swamp every chance they get. Remember how they loved Mueller despite the "all cops are bastards" slogan? The FBI are their heroes.

Maybe the handful of auth leftists, but the predominant leftist population are lib left (see political compass stats). Your assertion is social media / fake news BS drummed up by pissed off liberals and Chinese/EU SIMPs. Talk to someone who is actually a leftist. They hate Pelosi, Schumer, the FBI, Biden....think Bernie Bros, who surprisingly voted for Trump in 2020. Theyre anti-establishment.

Political compass? That joke? You can't end up in the top corner unless you answer some really horrifying opinions. It's a stupid way to consider politics, and two axes is so simplistic as to be childlike.

Talk to someone who is actually a leftist.

You mean the ones who cheered with the FBI raided Trump? Those anti-establishment ones?

The raid on Mar-a-Lago was right up there with the Watergate burglary in US government malfeasance.

They hate it for not being swampy enough.

Touche. They want the world to be a swamp.

Best thing that could happen is if the American political system splits into 4 parties; Centrist GOP, Centrist DEM, Freedom Caucus and Progressive Party.
