I think we need to reverse the unconstitutional Reynolds v. Sims decision which forbids the states from being set up like the federal government, with one house elected in proportion to population and one house elected geographically. The decision itself was rooted in little more than pipe dreams and moonshine, and the results are, I think, responsible for more than a little of our current dysfunction (another huge problem is the weakening of the parties themselves — they used to serve as a moderating layer, but no longer do).
