I thought Joe represents a (relatively) more liberal upper class that is lulled into complacency via a life of privilege. He seemingly understands the stakes, and doesn't personally lust for war and human suffering. But he doesn't go to any extreme measures to protest what is happening. Even in the last second on the precipice of a huge preemptive strike, where he is best positioned to reason with his father (a futile effort for sure), his efforts feel weak and half-hearted. I think Joe's character serves a useful narrative purpose, but I don't really look at him as a hero type I should be rooting for and actually rather dislike him.
