No shit?

A flawless campaign would have won.

Not necessarily, you can do everything right and still lose.

That said, the reason she was initially lauded as running a great campaign was picking up Biden's campaign from a cold start and making it much closer than map coloring makes it appear. She definitely did make mistakes in there too though, so not flawless at all.

That's not true.

A perfect campaign would address the issuers voters have, and not insist everything is fine and voters facing homeless or food insecurity are just "leftists insisting on purity".

That's why I said she made some mistakes, and it wasn't a flawless campaign.
