I think you just misunderstood the original point. He's not talking about some organized, membership-carded group, which I agree doesn't exist. He's talking about the general idea of people who disagree with the equally vapid non-existent group "the right" ...
And yet: there are people who disagree on general issues and can be grouped by terms "right" and "left" for the purpose of discussion of general issues ...
