It’s only true because they believe it. Every vote counts, even if it’s for a losing candidate. The parties pay attention to the vote totals, where they are winning and losing, and what issues are connecting with voters. The parties may choose to run more moderate candidates in areas that are changing, and will set their platform based on what gets people to the polls.
Even if you’re going to lose, you should still show up and vote.

Yeah, yeah, we know. But voting for a candidate you know isn’t going to win your area must surely feel like pissing into the wind.
You’re right, but that’s why we should encourage those voters just as much as the swing states.
