Democrats should absolutely not vote for a bailout. While it would be good governing to do so, now is not a time of good governing. Make republicans eat their own turd.

Talking point: "Trump's tariffs caused this. Trump can fix this at any point without a bill. The only responsible way for congress to fix this is to take away tariff powers from trump otherwise we'll have a new bailout every week for the next 3 years."

Farmers may well be outstanding in their field (pun intended), but that's where it stops
