Well yes, that is the argument: That if I'm choosing between two candidates, I'm now incentivized to vote for the one offering to forgive my loans.
Interestingly, when it comes to economic decisions we are loss-averse. Meaning that losses weigh more than gains. Hence, why offering to forgive people's debt is far more appealing than offering to give them a free education. Making education affordable ought to be the thing you fix if this is an issue worth caring about; otherwise you're letting the hole leak water into the boat, and just handing out buckets to everyone.
An argument broad enough that you could probably count any campaign promise as attempted bribery.
And, like it or not, sometimes tossing buckets of water overboard is the only thing we can do before we're in a condition to plug up the hole.
