I got that feeling, too. Within the first few words of the press conference, the only thing I could think of was, "Well, Ollie's obviously gonna be a one-term mayor." It's possible that Star City is one big, uniformly polarized anomaly, but American political campaigns are, by and large, middle-of-the-road affairs. If you express any passion or controversial views, you're likely to lose a major part of your voters. It's the sad truth of American politics. The people with bold views who could probably effect the best and most sweeping changes are the ones who'll never get elected.
