But they do vote for it. They vote for environmental laws that make products and food more expensive, they vote for animal cruelty laws that make food more expensive, they vote for tariffs to keep/re-shore industries that make products more expensive. Time and time again, they choose the more expensive options.

They only don't if the only "choice" you recognize is that of a consumer (and probably an uninformed consumer at that), not that of a citizen. Bot of course corporations would love it if the only action their opposition could take is in which products they consume.
