Left lanes are for passing. If you are in the left lane and not passing, guess what.

I agree that clumps usually end up blocking passing lanes, but they're also bad when in any lane(s).
A clump == blocking the passing lane. They are definitionally the same.
I think about a large cluster of cars, say 6-12 cars, going roughly the same speed. Nothing about that entails blocking multiple lanes, certainly not densely enough to preclude someone from passing.
Guess what... Sometimes I need to take a left exit. And there will frequently be a bunch of clumping chumps doing 20 over in the left lane. So I get over when I can.
