That's dumb and you know it. This isn't a game of color in the dots, it's a race for who represents the states based off voter will within that state.
If party A wins 55% of the vote, and party B wins 44% of the vote, but party B wins 2/3 of the seats, what does it say about the way the seats were drawn? It's almost like they were drawn specifically to give Party B plenty of winnable seats within a 50-60% range and Party A a handful of concentrated seats where their most serious support is.
Don't be shit and try to win in more red areas? If you're going to come up with an excuse, you can do better than just being knowingly disingenuous, I know you're much better than that.
