We don't know what Gore or Bernie would have done once in office or how the world would have responded differently to those presidencies. We could be living great, it could have gone even worse, or more likely it could just be different.

We do know. Don't both-sides here.

We do not, and by definition cannot, know what would have happened in a hypothetical alternate timeline. You're entitled to your beliefs about what could've happened, but don't inaccurately state them as known fact. Moreover, "both-sides" as an accusatory term is hostile and not conducive to a good discussion. You shouldn't do that.
