Yes, Americans are moving away from the Democratic party in droves because of Gore's campaign... Gore abandoned the progressive issues and failed to address issues like universal health insurance, public financing of public elections, anti-union labor laws, consumer protections, renewable energy, corporate crime, welfare, WTO-NAFTA, the death penalty, the drug war, affordable housing, and child poverty... ignoring these long-standing Democratic Party concerns contributed to the feeling of many voters that voting for Gore meant nothing to them, but these are the issues that brought people to the Democratic Party for many years and had been the reliable source for Democratic votes..... Gore abandoned those issues and he abandoned those people, and he began to reinvent himself and started espousing the false ring of populist rhetoric... this is what brought his downfall.....
