Perhaps we should be making some effort to retake blue areas rather than forever fleeing.

Unfortunately this isn't realistically possible. Did you know the state with the third-most Republican votes in 2016 was California? Almost 4 million Californians voted Republican in 2016. Sadly, they were outnumbered by almost 8 million Democrats.

Entire Republican states would need to depopulate just to have a chance at winning California. But if all Republicans moved away from California and New York - states they have zero chance of winning - they could absolutely dominate every swing state and guarantee victory in every election.
