They can't see it because Left is a referential direction.
They are not measuring themselves from an objective point in space, like a principled stance. They are measuring themselves using themselves as an origin point. This means that anything that moves away from them is moving rightward, anything that moves towards them is moving leftward, even if those things aren't moving.
Old physics lesson: You're on a moving train headed north, and I'm watching you go by:
From my reference point, you are moving northward.
From your reference point, I am moving southward.
This is why Leftism is a philosophy of War. There are no principles, only arguments from power. Every position and principle can be Leftist, and many have been, because the only thing that matters is that they move towards whatever their objective happens to be at a given moment. You can move anywhwere in objective space, by always moving left.
“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others.” -- Groucho Marx
Actually, Leftists do have principles, they're just very bad principles:
Power above all else
Might makes right
Truth is relative
Perception is reality
The end justifies the means
The reason the Left's position appears to be referential from their POV and rapidly moving from everyone else's point of view is because their principles aren't based on facts about reality or human behavior, they're based on goals.
They could care less about what is right or wrong, or objective truths about the universe... they only care about achieving a specific ends, and if something works in favor of achieving that end, it's by definition "good". Everyone and everything is just a means to achieving an end, and their desired end is inherently good by virtue of who they are, so it follows that anything that helps them achieve that end is naturally good as well.
This is exactly what I've been saying!

Leftism reminds me of a quote:

It's the ultimate manifestation of self-worship.
