thats false. nyc, and by extent NYS do impact your local politics.
so, when NYS raised its min wage in 05, the federal govt raised min wage shortly after. its hard to prove, but its not impossible to say there was an effect. similarly, when NYS started issuing full fledged marriage licenses to gay couples, several other states, de facto, recognize gay marriage, since they honor, in full, any out of state marriage license.
washington and colorado legalizing pot WILL have an effect, throughout the country, regarding pot laws.

You can't name a single one that affects me down here in GA.
so, when NYS raised its min wage in 05, the federal govt raised min wage shortly after. its hard to prove, but its not impossible to say there was an effect.
I actually WOULD need that proved, because correlation is not causation and raising the minimum wage, period, was a hot issue that year promoted by both parties.
similarly, when NYS started issuing full fledged marriage licenses to gay couples, several other states, de facto, recognize gay marriage, since they honor, in full, any out of state marriage license.
Sorry to say, not here in GA. And we won't. That's already been made clear by our state government.
washington and colorado legalizing pot WILL have an effect, throughout the country, regarding pot laws.
Again, not here in GA. Pot laws and enforcement are going to remain as is.
You might argue that what a liberally-aligned state does will have ripple effects in other states/areas of the same type and have a point, but you are not arguing that. At all. So c'mon, point out to me a thing that y'all up there in NY did that has us Georgians going "Look what they did up there! We're gonna do that too."
You start out in federal district court and then appeal it all the way up. No, I do not consider issues of constitutionality to be "local" politics.
watchtower v sutton.
WTF is this? There's no such case. Or are you talking about Watchtower Society vs Village of Stratton? Which had no effect at all here in GA because we didn't have any local ordinances of that type.
