I seriously believe there should be a bottom line vote for "None of the above, choose new candidates"

This and abolish the party system, let each individual stand on their own merit.

The idea that you have no say, except once every few years, to pick one of the per-chosen to "respresent" you, isn't actually at-all democratic. It's more like monarchy-light.

Having more than two parties also helps a lot, btw.

By which I mean, at least five, with realistic odds.

The chance of that happening is only slightly more likely than hoping for a perfect enlightened despot unicorn to step up.
