In my mind, the main sides are the following: There's the Progressive Left who point at the established Democrats and the mainstream media for tactics used to hurt progressive causes (like Bernie's nomination) [1]. There's the general Left who point at Trump for his abuses of power and propaganda [2]. There's Trump and his supporters who point to election fraud [3]. There's the general Right who point to the Democrats for schemes to pack the court [4]. I don't want to suggest that all of these claims are equally valid, but I do believe supporters of these sides all strongly believe these claims and are willing to use them as justification for bending the rules. In fact, I believe it would be foolish not to, given that is seems clear no matter who your opponent is, they will certainly bend the rules given the chance. What I meant by "sadly" in my previous comment is I see the situation in the US in contrast to a government like New Zealand. In New Zealand opposing sides aren't focused on subverting the rules but instead sometimes work together to fuel positive outcomes for the whole country [5].
