Note how progressive Democrats have framed the universe, as Sunny observes:

As always, people who disagree with progressives are abusing power when they do anything to their own advantage, but progressives are never abusing power when they do whatever it takes to win.  Keep an eye out for this dynamic especially when it comes to cheating in elections.  Whatever they can’t claim is unproven, they excuse as simply doing what is necessary to win.

Progressives won’t admit it, often even to themselves, but the only thing that is truly against the rules is defeating progressives.
