The thing is: nearly everything can cause harm, in some small, indirect way. And everything is political, even if only some small, indirect way.
So taken to the “logical” extreme, me eating oatmeal for breakfast is terrorism. It harmed the people in the fields working for low wages, and it’s a political choice to eat less meat for a meal.
This is why it seems silly to meant of us to call burning Tesla dealerships terrorism. Does sitting bud light cans count as terrorism? Do boycotts count as terrorism?
Enough damage to that dealership costs someone money. That’s harm.
Maybe not a lot of harm. But it’s harm.
Still not violence

In the U.K. it’s criminal damage, not sure what the USA exact term will be, but it won’t be terrorism.
