House races can be surprisingly close. Either in the primary or the general depending on if it’s a “safe” seat or not. The one thing they really care about is being re-elected. They will notice, even if they win a tough primary for a safe district they’re not going to forget it. And if you manage to unseat enough of them then the message is even louder to the rest.

This is the way the game was meant to be played. Just apathetically voting for what’s in front of you was something the parties invented to make it seem like there’s no way to make change.
