It would take an act of Congress.
Have you seen this explainer about how and why Congress cares not about we the people?
Article says "To make government accountable to the people, we must make it more representative,..."
Then suggests " by uncapping the House of Representatives and rebalancing power."
I think it would be better to make peoples votes more powerful by ending gerrymandering, and first past the post voting. https://represent.us/
Nailed it!
Just like in nature and agriculture, monocultures are vulnerable. One disease can wipe out an entire population. Same principal can be applied to almost anything.

I might add that suffering with thoughts and feelings sometimes is shortened by allowing ourselves to do it more intensely for a bit. I'd try both - allowing myself to wallow intensely for a bit and then get up and do something for a bit. Repeating as necessary. I've found it to help a little bit sometimes.
It looks like you're getting quite a few responses. It's nice that others identify and care enough to write.
