Fine, you want another example of systemic bias in our government? The 50 Democratic senators represent 41.5 million more people than the 50 Republican senators.
DC has a larger population than Wyoming or Vermont, and will probably overtake Alaska by the next Census based on its current trajectory.
Why is bad intent less bad than bad accident.

House representation was supposed to be approximately equal limited by granularity and it remains approximately equal limited by granularity.
But the "limited by granularity" part is growing more and more limited. The size of the House originally grew as the size of the population grew. Once we capped the size of the House, we lost relative granularity allowing this problem worsen as the gap between the smallest and largest congressional districts increased.
States are not fixed entities. It's people that should be represented, not an arbitrary geographic boundary.
That intentional design makes it so depending on where you physically live, your vote is worth many times less or more than someone else's. That makes no sense.
Note that pretty much every country has something similar - some body that acts on a check of pure democratic representation.
Much better.
