Re: If this happened, Bingbong's head would explode

I don't want that because it will lead to overrepresentation of areas and some areas won't have any. In a state like New York, everybody would be from New York City even though New York City makes up less than half the state by number. What I could see doing is that each party puts up a slate of candidates with a requirement that one has to come from each district. After that, the Congressional seats are apportioned based on the percentage a party receives in the general election (if a State has 20 seats and the result is 55-45 then the delegation will be split the first 11 from the winning party's list and the first 9 from the losing party's list). Especially in large states, this would give third parties a legit shot at winning a seat or two.
