Please name all the votes he has taken in the Senate over the past 2 year that you disagree with?

Look, I don't like some of the things he says, but ultimately what I care about is what he does - that is his votes on bills that matter. In that respect, I believe his record is very strong unless someone can show evidence for me to think otherwise.

Note: it would be easy to show a ton of bad votes for Manchin or Sinema.
