I've learned a couple of ways to get around mafia-mates being idiots:

1. A couple of times, a newb mafia will vote againsta revealed mayor. This looks exactly how it is. Simply say: "Only a jester would vote against the mayor." This might keep them from ever getting lynched, especially if they are a disguiser, which coincides with jester in an investigator's results.

2. A newb mafia who thinks that they automatically lose if they die, an angry mafia-mate who got in a disagreement with you, or even a plain-old jerk might reveal your role when they are being lynched. This often happens between a mafioso and a Godfather who can't agree how to kill, or even a mafioso who wants to be promoted. In this situation, the mafioso may even call out the Godfather wothout being on trial. Anyway, this may even be intended to throw off the Town, kind of like reverse psychology. It probably doesn't matter if they are dead. Either way, point out that a member of the mafia would try to intentionally throw off the Town and keep the others under suspicion. This is effective, too.
