If you argue that distance should not be a factor in electing and elevating a single representative (the president in this case) the moment results come in you should not argue it matters when electing several hundred representatives. And I did say that combining election districts so that at least you never vote for a single member to represent a district was also an option. Congress has 435 voting representatives in the House of Representatives and 6 non-voting. Each, under the current system, has their own district, which elects through a first past the post system.
Combining them so you have 44 contiguous voting districts, each electing 10 representatives from among their population would go a long way towards breaking the deadlock US politics has historically been in.
And there are tools to help people figure out what way they want to vote. Voting guides are a thing, and they can help check on the basis of a party's avowed agenda and their voting record as to which parties most closely align with your own interests.
