It seems a rather short complaint list for a Senator's voting record. Pull up other democratic candidates' voting records (if they have one) on the same bills for comparison and see what you disagree with.
Perhaps "On the issues", you're likely not to be personally aligned with any of the democratic candidates.

That is a big part of why senators have trouble in presidential elections. They vote on so much that it's easy to cherry pick things many do not like. In many cases you can show they voted for something that is unpopular that was a small part of a bigger bill that was very popular and in others something good is tacked onto a bad bill and they can just say they voted against what most view as the good part of the bill.
