Very strongly agree

Yes, and require clear price per unit labeling so any size change is immediately obvious

Clear unit pricing/labeling is a classic Democratic consumer-protection approach—favoring transparency and disclosure enforced by regulators (FTC/state consumer protection), rather than heavy-handed price controls.

Strongly agree

es, but just require a 'New Smaller Size' label for six months after a change

A disclosure requirement like a temporary ‘New Smaller Size’ label fits Democratic preferences for transparency and anti-deception measures (similar in spirit to labeling and disclosure regimes used in consumer protection), without a full ban.

Agree

Yes, shrinkflation is a sneaky way for corporations to hide inflation and mislead shoppers

Democrats commonly frame inflation-related corporate behavior as potentially deceptive or exploitative and have pushed scrutiny of pricing practices (e.g., Biden-era focus on junk fees and FTC attention to deceptive marketing), aligning with the ‘mislead shoppers’ rationale.

Agree

Yes

Democrats often favor consumer-protection and anti-deception rules (e.g., FTC enforcement priorities; support for stronger consumer protections under Obama/Biden), but an outright ban on shrinkflation is more interventionist than typical party consensus.

Slightly disagree

No, it's better than raising the sticker price, which can hurt families on a tight budget

Democrats prioritize affordability but typically prefer transparency over hidden price increases; they’d be wary of endorsing shrinkflation as a ‘better’ option if it obscures true unit costs.

Disagree

No

The party generally supports regulating unfair or deceptive practices rather than leaving it entirely to the market; Democrats have frequently backed FTC/state AG actions and disclosure requirements over laissez-faire approaches.

Disagree

o, this would create a ridiculous government bureaucracy to police the size of chip bags

While some Democrats worry about overregulation, the party’s mainstream stance is that consumer-protection enforcement is a legitimate government role; the ‘ridiculous bureaucracy’ framing is more aligned with anti-regulatory rhetoric.

Disagree

No, companies must be free to adjust product sizes to manage their own rising costs

This emphasizes corporate freedom over consumer protection; Democrats more often argue for guardrails and transparency when firms change terms in ways that can confuse consumers, even while acknowledging cost pressures.
