I agree that libs are playing with an imaginary set of rules that they made up themselves, but there’s things like gerrymandering that are actually illegal that conservatives still do. I’m more of a competitive card gamer, so let me put my analogy I those terms - if a card was vague on its use case and an official clarification was sent re: the specific use case, but a player kept playing the illegal use case. You should call in a ref and complain.

However, there are other things that aren’t specifically written in the rules that they should do but don’t for “morality” sake like attacking their opponents directly in speeches.

Following the law when you don't have to and it's counter productive to victory is one of the made up rules Libs follow for no sensible reason. The law is a weapon for hurting your enemies, not some kind of moral code you're obligated to adhere to.
