I'm trying to say that her argument simply isn't very interesting :) Look, the only people who think America was better off in the 60s/70s are the ones who benefitted from the systemic discrimination inherent of that era. It's perfectly reasonable for them to feel that way, and I'm not even saying I blame them for feeling left behind. Is America actually better off today? It depends who you ask. It's just not intellectually very interesting to talk about. All she's doing is imposing cherry-picked aspects of her chosen value system as objectively "better" while ignoring the whole point that any definition of "better" relies on a subjective personal value system to begin with.
