Why don't Europeans hold America accountable?

Often I see people from other Western countries (sometimes leaders) criticize the United States for things such as our Prisoner Industrial Complex, 2 party system, and culture being reminiscent of a developing country. Yet, all they do is complain about it, then sit on their hands and do nothing about it.

For example, they'll criticize our justice system as being geared towards punishment and profit over rehabilitation. They could do things like refuse to do business with the US, block Americans from entering their countries, or putting sanctions against us over these specific things they don't like. But no, they just complain about how barbaric our criminal system is, how we have a military-industrial complex, and have a severely flawed government system.

It seems to me they either just like to bitch and complain, or they're hoping Americans will give a rat's ass about what they think. While American conservatives and reactionaries would be predictable intransigent, these Europeans and Commonwealth dwellers keep complaining about these things to American liberals. While some American liberals like Hasan Piker or the TYT crew will advocate for rehabilitation over punishment, just show them a messed-up murder or rapist documentary and they do a total 180. I've seen it many times. And in the comment section on YouTube or Twitch, the Europeans will get on the American liberal's cases for wanting to punish people like Dylann Roof, Ted Bundy, or Alek Minassian.

Thing is, as long as you other Westerners keep allowing these American liberals to soyface when visiting your countries and as long as they can keep you wrapped around their finger, they're going to keep seeing what they can get away with.

The only sanctions I've ever seen Europeans put on the US where in response to Trump's tariffs. That's only going to upset American leftists, as American right-wingers would likely be ecstatic because it would mean we're moving towards their goal of autarky.
