This bill is not just about surveillance. It makes the act of planning/"thinking about" a crime a crime.

"Left" and "right" are context dependent terms. But in this context I mean left as favoring individual freedom.

Then call it that way. For example I wouldn't call libertarians left wing but they would be on your side regarding surveillance. But they wouldn't be on your side about environmental regulations for example.
