Ah yes, South Park. That was a good episode. But, I remember it being that the disinterested and uninformed children chose to put those two up for election because they thought it was a joke.
The episode showed that when people don't show an interest or seek knowledge into their politicians- the vote becomes tarnished or ridiculous and you end up voting between a turd sandwich and a giant ######.

There are many independent candidates in most elections that represent different views. However, even if there is not one single candidate that reprisents all youtr views, you have to choose the one that does so best. Otherwise you are just allowing the mis-representation to continue. Just because they don't get elcted doesn't mean your vote doesn't count. Also, parties and candidates get funds for each vote received- so even if you like someone who you know won't win, your vote helps them for next time.

Everyone hates politics because they suck so they don't vote. But politics sucks BECAUSE people don't vote. It's a vicious circle that cna be easily broken if people would make an effort to stay informed and vote.
