15. Lieberman's votes on War and Peace undermine RIGHTS & DEMOCRACY.
While the issues you point to are valid, they are inconsequential once you frame them in a minority argument that has no voice in the U.S. Senate, because the Republican control of Congress affords them no voice.

Certainly, all the matters you point to are of paramount concern.

That is why Joe needs to go.

By ending Congressional support for the War and Peace issues that are undermining Democracy and the many other RIGHTS I alluded to, amongst others, you are giving both Democracy and the Democratic agenda its best shot at surviving.

Replacing Joe gets rid of his War and Peace votes, but is only part of the broader need to get rid of more of those votes and to gain a majority in Congress.

From a majority position, the Democratic agenda may advance, but from its current minority position in Congress, Joe could vote like a left-wing liberal on all issues other than War and Peace, and not make a damn difference for women, minorities, working people, and all others who are relying on the Democratic Party for representation and preservation of their rights.
