I wonder how we solve this problem. Voter participation has always been low which to me means that a significant portion of the population doesn't feel represented by either of the two candidates.

We obviously need better representation. But how? What system could we adopt that would allow the most comprehensive range of political opinion to be represented?

I'm not sure that's the only (or even most apparent) conclusion. Maybe voters don't think their vote can make a difference, feel adequately represented by either major candidate, feel the results don't have much impact on their lives, can't get to the polls (for any of lots of potential reasons), or aren't registered (also lots of potential reasons).
