If you organize you will usually make friends along the way. Not with everyone, of course, but it is eaay to pick up a few if you are nice and invite people to do things.
There are many activities that attract left people. For example, you might have a local mask bloc and COVID cautious people. This will be made up of people who care about COVID, i.e. have not bought into liberal normalization, which will include people more impacted by it like people with disabilities or just people who are consistent in their understanding and empathy. You'll be sure to find some anarchists, DemSocs, and commies in there along with some liberals that are close to radicalization. Food not bombs, Palestine protests, anything anti-imperialist, movie nights with lefty movies, (sometimes) union events, teach-ins. Sometimes you can find these things online. Sometimes they'll be on library bulletin boards or pasted on telephone poles.
You might also look for people tabling near suburban loci like grocery stores. Even though suburbanites are spread out they tend to all go to the few commercial outfits nearby, especially grocery stores.
