Voted Jackson because, with all due respect to fiscal conservativism, this guy's cultural conservativism reached genocide levels.

All in service to the common (white) man.
Andrew Jackson was a majoritarian. He felt that the majority should always get their way, even if that meant harming a minority. This contrasts with egalitarianism, which means protecting minorities from the bigotry of the majority.

Cleveland. Jackson was on the left.
This. I think people need to look at Jackson besides just focusing on the genocide.
Third parties aside, "right" and "left" are N/A to Presidential elections before 1896.

....no. Economics is directly related to slavery and the Genocide. Stop trying to make this “racist sociopathic murderers were really leftist economic populists” thing happen.

Jackson did this to please landless poor whites. The party of businessmen, commercial farmers, and bankers (ie the party of capitalism) the whigs opposed his Indian policies.
As I said, there was no "right" and "left" until 1896. Jackson was a majoritarian populist.
