It’s voter gerrymandering as voter suppression. You’re just wrong here. 
First past the post is a whole different discussion and set of problems. Gerrymandering is having an outisized effect on all races in states where it’s practiced.
Go look at @anon23281680’s excellent list of reasons why gerrymandering impacts statewide elections. Since the gutting of the voting rights act, which put guardrails on this kind of thing, we are in a whole new realm and comparing it to the fucking 80s isn’t particularly helpful. It’s more like the Jim Crow era than it is like the post-civil rights act era.
