Bodily autonomy of women.

The same bodily autonomy Democrats failed to enshrine in law at any point in the decades following the initial Roe v. Wade decision? Or the bodily autonomy that Harris and the dems wouldn't have had the votes to pass anyway even had they won? Or do you mean the bodily autonomy that Biden has done nothing meaningful with since he took office four years ago?

Gerrymandering

What specific policy platform did Harris put forward and advertise to the American people regarding gerrymandering? I don't recall anything specific beyond "we need to stop it." Ok, how? How do you plan to do that when, once again, you won't have majorities in both houses, and SCOTUS is corrupt and you/Biden refuse to do anything about that, either, like pack the court?

Climate change

She reversed her policy on fracking a couple weeks into her campaign, might make voters think you can't trust her and her commitment to the climate crisis, which Biden has shown to also not be doing great on.

Land grabbing

I'm assuming this is related to housing? Yeah, Harris said she wanted to build 3 million new homes and offer first time homebuyers down payment assistance. This doesn't address all of the corporate consolidation of housing, and it doesn't prevent these corporate entities from gobbling up huge amounts of these new homes.

Corporate tax evasion

What has Biden done in regards to this? Have the tax breaks put in place by Trump been reversed? No? Because they have to be undone by Congress? Cool, so what's Harris's plan if she doesn't control both houses of Congress, send me 8 emails a day for the next 4 years begging me for money while not raising the minimum wage in any meaningful way?

I voted Harris, to be clear, but her policies were centrist at best, and that's why she lost. Regardless of what the stats and polls show, Americans don't feel better off than four years ago. Americans want change, and if it's not going to be progress, then I guess it'll be regress. And the Dems have no one to blame but themselves.
