The problem here is that a large part of their voter base are either just completely unreasonable, or completely ignorant to the mechanics of running a country. I've hear way too many people talk about how they can "write off student debt and it doesn't cost any money!". The people in the "socialist" camp don't understand how they are shooting themselves in the foot by having this "all or nothing" mindset. Student debt is a great example, since there are lots of reasonable plans out there such as reducing/eliminating interest payments, or assisting with the debt for people below certain income thresholds, but the popular narrative on social media is that the only solution there is "wipe out all debt and make school free, and damn the consequences"
