This kind of rhetoric was good in the 1980s when America was going through a consumer product boom, but it’s not going to meet the current moment. The Left’s easy counter is, “Sure, you can buy a cheap fridge, but you can’t afford housing, education, and healthcare.” We’re not going to get the DSA generation to change their minds with an appeal to consumerism and recycled arguments from “I, Pencil.” Sadly, we’re way beyond that point.
