Voting—it doesn't get quite as much shine when a new president isn't on the line, does it? But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be exercising your right. Local officials have a hand in a bevy of issues that affect your day-to-day, from mass transit (shout out to the MTA for absolutely fucking nothing) and health insurance costs, to the availability of affordable housing. In short, get thee to a polling place, and vote for your local mayor, comptroller, public advocate, and any/all other city and town council members whose fates are TBD.
If you don't, and you spend two hours waiting to take a 15-minute subway ride to work, whoever's name you affix to a string of colorful expletives will be decided by others. You owe it to yourself to choose the future official you will call an incompotent asshole.
