And along with him, fuck anyone who's stupid enough, dishonest enough, or insane enough to still promote and defend the "there's no difference between the major parties" lie. If Nader 2000 and the claim that there was no difference between Al Gore and George Bush didn't teach you that that is so completely wrong as to need new vocabulary to define HOW wrong it is, then you're hopeless.
The reality is that there's more difference between the major parties today than there has been at any point in the last half century or more. To deny that requires ignoring all practical reality, including everything that has happened over the last year, three years, five, ten. It requires you to ignore DADT, the end of the war in Iraq, the elimination of Bin Laden, the use of civilian trials for terror suspects, the end of torture, Lily Ledbetter, healthcare reform, Wall Street reform, the CFPA, Keystone XL pipeline, and on, and on, and on.
