If Archie and/or the senator were carrying, then Archie might still be with us.
That would have been refreshing and more in character with the era of the comic's beginnings, when dramas usually had good winning over evil, but that doesn't fit the current narrative.
Like you said, sock hops and sodas are foreign to kids now, so I guess to sell, the publishers had to turn to drugs, sex, perversion, violence and heroes losing, playing to their presumed American societal guilt complex.

And thus just in (per the AP):
"The famous freckle-faced comic book icon is meeting his demise in Wednesday's installment of "Life with Archie" when he intervenes in an assassination attempt on Kevin Keller, Archie Comics' first openly gay character."
What a surprise.

Killing off the named character in a comic will be a tough thing to follow. I'm guessing something as shocking as Betty becoming the lead performer in a Donkey Show, south of the border is next.

Don't care. Archie comics always sucked. Superman was more realistic. Don't stop at Archie: kill 'em all.
The porno Archie comics* (satire, duh) were more entertaining, but even they weren't that good.
*I have no idea where to find them, nor do I care to search.
