Its not “us”, its congressional republicans who are forcing that scenario.

Forcing how?

No one is forcing NY politicians to not govern in the interest of the people in those districts, and lose votes as a result.

The only thing which forcing it here is the stubborn ideology that ignores the people.

It's a zero-sum game. Players must always maximize their position. This is not The West Wing where everyone suddenly has a change of heart for the good of the nation. You're taking issue with the wrong people. Congressional Republicans are the root of the problem.
