Xi, Putin, and Netanyahu aren't US politicians. They don't represent me. Harris does.
I will happily call Putin and Netanyahu war criminals, but I don't know how I can affect them over here in the US. (I don't know enough about Xi to say that about him.)

There's a start. The US is far from perfect, but at a baseline we don't have overt state sanctioned ethnic or theologic cleansings.
We do, though. That's what's happening in Gaza.
How did you go from "Netanyahu doesn't represent me, I'm an American" to "we have state sanctioned ethnic cleansing in Gaza" in a heartbeat without a single flash of self-awareness?
The people who are funding Netanyahu do represent me. It isn't that difficult. Do you need me to draw you a diagram?
Yes, I do need you to draw me a diagram. Please include in the diagram at least a small semblance of understanding of how diplomacy and international politics work.
