What is your evidence that people on the left conflate popularity with ease?

I already gave an example, student debt. The portion of the left I'm talking about, were very vocal and upset Biden didn't forgive student debt, more specifically their student debt. Those same people swore up and down and some still swear up and down Biden can do it and chooses not to. They are also quick to cite political polls as their supporting argument, as if the poll matters when discussing is it possible to be done.

Just look at Congress the last session and that same portion of the left outraged Democrats didn't pass xyz. The same portion that happily cite polls why it should be able to pass and cite that as a reason to not vote next election. This same group fails to grasp, it was 50 Republicans and only 2 Democrats blocking things.

Or those who think we can just completely drop support of Israel because they think the idea is popular.

Or the same portion that argues Bernie won or should have won or was stolen from him.

My point is it's not just conflating it with ease, it conflating popularity period with how politics and government works. Popularity to them is conflated with it can be done, and if it's not done they justify people not voting and act baffled shit is harder to reverse. It's pure idealism. Elections have consequences, regardless if the dream boat willy they think is popular doesn't win/pass.

Breanna Joy, Rose Twitter, or Kyle Kelinskis in particular usually have something out of their wheelhouse every 1 to 3 months that regurgitate Republican talking points (for different reasons).

Over conflating political polls or populism with how domestic and foreign political affairs, and how real policy is passed and negotiated.
