Obviously way better...

But that's not whose been running Iran?

Like, America would be a lot better off if Al Gore and Bernie Sanders had been elected too.

Right, but the people running Iran right now are the result of the US interfering explicitly to combat Iran's socialization of their oil. Which reflexively led to the Iranian Revolution and the current Islamic Republic. The current regime would not exist without US interference. Al Gore and Bernie Sanders suffered domestic interference, not foreign.

You could also say Iran's pro-democratic people and socialists suffered a little bit of 'domestic intereference' when the islamists started killing them off after the revolution

A downstream effect, but you're absolutely right
