Equality is difficult to achieve because of Animal Farm: "All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others."
Everybody wants equality; and everyone wants an advantage for themselves and their kin. So when politicians buy votes with promises "more equality" those who benefit will often vote for them.
Think of all the students who owe lots of student debt. They are very likely to vote in favor of Joe Biden who has promised to forgive all that debt -- despite the rank illegality, unfairness, and inequality of that promise.
