Future Turns Into The Past

Believe or Don't (makes no nevermind over here) but this isn't a post bashing Democrats. I was struck by the juxta of these two pictures today.
When paying for a house or vehicle, you take the long view, knowing that it might be years before the 'transact' is a finished 'tion'.
 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has most of her life ahead of her. She lives the long view.
Bernie Sanders. Seventy eight years old.  As the old joke goes, he doesn't buy eggs a dozen at a time.
Love Bernie all you like, but the 'long view' won't feature Bernie Sanders.
And that is all right-the future belongs to the young, those who will be relevant 30 years from now.
I just checked- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born in 1989; she will be 78, Bernie Sanders present age, in 2067.
The future belongs to the young.
