Because they're offering some ideas and the Tories offered fewer. Also not everything believes they're not realistic solutions. It's also not as if the Tories have great credibility on the economy either, lambasting the 'magic money tree' but finding money whenever they need a electoral bribe or to do a deal with the DUP.
I think more than anything though it could end up simply that they're the only realistic alternative in our system.
You've said before that if you ignore people long enough they'll react when talking about immigration and the rise of parties like UKIP. I think the same applies for Corbyn. If people are generally doing alright then they may not want to take the risk but if they've got little else, insecure work, cut benefits, no prospect of home ownership and ever-rising costs then they might well think it's worth a shot.
