Why do you have such a hard time understanding (i.e., being able to hear, grasp and -- heaven forbid I say this -- tolerate the root cause of) their thinking on this?
When I question people who make the "no difference between the two parties" statement, I try to ask for specifics. After drilling down, the perception I come away with is: in many cases they believe the parties are identical in every way, manner or shape. They tend to think that in regard to one over-riding issue that is important to them and it tends to be based on their assessment of the record -- results -- and how they perceive their personal life and future affected. NOTE that I said in many cases ... as you would expect, in some cases I come away from that discussion that the person is totally uninformed, a "low-information" voter/non-voter. But when it comes to Green Party supporters, I don't think I've run into one of those types. They are usually pretty bright people ... and amply informed.
Anyway, it seems to me there's some pretty powerful stuff full of all kinds of opportunity for the Democratic Party when you drill down into that statement if it chooses to be receptive to it.
