Weird. I wonder why OP thinks we give a shit if it's just some random moron on twitter.

I think OP is just hyping up Mamdani and his policies and showing how some idiots think that things like free transit and free childcare are bad things. But tbh so many examples have already been posted, it's not exactly news.

Mr Worldwide himself claims to be anti-communist, but I think that's just his Cuban heritage speaking. Dude's been funding an education program for poor kids starting in his old neighborhood that is now nationwide. While it's not communism and it's not even public money being spent, it's very much in the same vein as Mamdani's ideas: The goal is to improve equal access to necessities.

He said back in 2016 that he doesn't support Trump's joke of a campaign and unlike a lot of Latinos, he's pro-immigration (the "fuck you, got mine" mentality seems to be pretty common among Latinos living in America, they don't wanna see any immigrants despite being immigrants themselves). He's also stated that he loves America, but wants to stay out of politics. He just wants it to be the United States, not the Divided States, according to his Howard Stern interview. I went through the painful process of scrolling back to early November 2024 in his Xitter profile and I couldn't see a single political statement. A bunch of disgusting preachy motivational quotes about hard work leading to success, but nothing political.

Long story short, he's got a lot of ego showing in his public persona, his music is very, eh... It's pop music. It's made to appeal to as many people as possible so that's why it feels like it has little personality. But dude himself seems to be very genuine and friendly according to literally every encounter ever described on reddit. The annoying high energy persona is probably just marketing.

Why'd I go through all this trouble? Well I remember some threads bashing him on reddit and a lot of people said he's actually very different from his media personality. Also, a lot of people wouldn't have respected the poll results and given a concert on a remote island in Alaska.

Yeah, I feel duped into thinking this was Pitbull the musician and not some random dummy. He sounds cool from your description.
