The votes

Every roll call in the scorecard, with the full tally and the party split, and the position taken by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) on each. Nothing is hidden and nothing is aggregated away. This is the whole list, so you can judge the selection for yourself. Read the motion before reading the position. Several are motions to kill, table or shelve a bill, so supporting the bill means voting Nay.
