People on the left, seem to be 'the Sheep' in the sheep and the goats parable in the Bible, also known as the last judgement, or Judgement of Nations.....
Christ separated the people within all Nations for the judgement, the sheep put on His right, the goats put on his left....
to make a long story short, the goats always proclaimed to know Jesus as Savior and Lord....yet when Jesus confronts them on them helping Jesus when He was in need they said , When did we not help you Lord?
Jesus basically said, When you didn't feed the hungry, help the poor, welcome the stranger, or care for those in prison etc... whatever you didn't do for the least of them, You did this to me! He cast them to eternal punishment.
He confronts the other group who fed the hungry, helped the poor, visited those in prison, and welcomed the Stranger ... on how well they treated Him,
This group of people ask Christ, When did we do those things for you?
and He said, however you treated those people, you did unto Me!
This other separated group in the parable, didn't even know they were doing good things for and to Jesus Christ,
...basically, they didn't know...they were followers of Christ....they were just doing what they felt was right and humane....
and Christ rewarded those who thought they didnt know Him, with everlasting life....!

Bottom line, yes many on the left, who may not even know they are following Christ and His teachings are the ones who are rewarded by Christ on judgement day.
And some of those who proclaimed they knew Christ, or accepted Him as Lord and Savior...
Were ALL TALK, with no actions....
Bible Gateway passage: Matthew 25:31 - New International Version
The Sheep and the Goats - “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.www.biblegateway.com
If they don't know they are following Christ they've never accepted Him as their Savior, if they've never accepted Him as Savior they don't go Heaven, sorry.
Faith without works, is dead.

Christ indicates throughout the Gospels........that others, who are not known followers of Christ and part of His sect are judged and saved through The Law....
The Good Samaritan parable
The Sheep and the Goats parable
And many other bible passages that explains that others can be 'saved ' as well....
all go through Christ and His judgement... Basically, they can not get to Heaven, but through Him.....
Basically some are saved through Grace and their acceptance and belief in Him dying as a sacrifice for their sins...these people have Faith, and good works.
While others who don't know they believe in Christ, yet follow Christ's teachings and the Law, can also be saved...
Romans 2:12-16 12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
16This will take place on the day when God judges people's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
But why do you think that the majority of those that you don't agree with politically aren't doing 'works'? So if they're against illegal immigration, then they're not 'helping' people? If they're against a woman legally being allowed to kill her unborn child, they're not 'helping' her? If they're against welfare for those capable of work, then they're on the wrong side of Jesus? You really have a twisted view of things, sadly.
