Do the rest of the series.

Hell no. Or, if I did, I'd probably just look at the episode title and rely on memory alone. For that round, I checked wikipedia in case I was forgetting something (or when I didn't remember a title, because those aren't shown when you're watching the series and don't always convey an episode's content)

Well, the issue is that she gets, by FAR, the most political stories. And they're all left-leaning ones to boot. So whenever a Lisa episode comes up there's a good chance it's going to be little more than patronizing talking down and glorification of left-leaning politics. Which... even for the left... is kind of stale and boring. Lisa goes Gaga probably being the best example of this. If you're on the center or right it's even worse.

I think it could be improved if they did a South Park where they make fun of all sides or at least gave her some right-leaning episodes to round her off; but whenever I think of Lisa all I think of is how she does political stuff and doesn't have much else beyond her love of Malibu Stacy dolls. She's better as a supporting character (especially for Bart who usually takes the lead) but on her own... she's irritating and flat.

It's also social issues. However, I feel like they could still get away with stuff like that without Lisa being insufferable. The fact that she's lacking in personality is probably the larger problem, which makes her non-political/social issue episodes (although they still virtue signal various causes in lieu of personality) crap as well. Granted, most of her non-specifically political/social issue episodes tend to be "future" and/or romance episodes, so... that's also a consideration.
