Of course the Democrats are going to fight the next campaign as hard as they can, with whatever tools are legally available. That is neither contradictory nor hypocritical, even if they believe that a fair election would be run under different rules.
Now, to put all your support behind changing the rules, then howl with misery when your opponents follow the new rules? That's hypocritical.
