What does it say about a society, and the state, if the citizens truly believe there isn't a single person to vote for?

And how should that be dealt with?

If there is no one to vote for, no one you believe is capable of being a leader of the country, how bad that actually is?

Presidential elections have been held in my country recently. A parody politician, a joke candidate, won the third seat in the elections. Third. Seat. A nonexistent person won it.
He beat nine well known, popular politicians that have been around for several decades, doing politics professionally, to say so.
And he made the persona and started the politician parody project a year ago, and won around 20% of votes in the local elections before he ran for a president seat this year.

One of the main reason people claimed to have voted for him is the actual, genuine belief that there is not a single person, out of all our politicians, that they believe is deserving of the presidential seat. People voted out of cheer spite, as a spit in the faces of all other candidates they are fed up with.
In other words, people here have absolutely no trust in the system.
Most of the joker’s followers are the young ones, majority of them students.
They are also the ones currently holding protests in all bigger cities, against the election results, that gave victory to the most hated man in this country. (currently)
Not to mention that, more or less, around half of the country didn’t vote at all.

Am I taking this a bit too seriously, or is this a really, really serious issue?

Considering some of the answers on my previous question about voters, it seems that my people aren’t the only ones that have no trust in their country’s political scene, nor the voting system.

Anyways, my question is:
How exactly am I, or society at large, supposed to do in a situation I described above? What does this say about the country, and how exactly are we all supposed to deal with this?
Is this even more serious than I think, or am I over analyzing it?
The more I think about this, the creepier it gets…
