This is not a problem. The Senate is half of one branch of government, and it’s fine to give land limited say. It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.
Even if you disagree, there are much bigger issues. Gerrymandering and Citizens United both do infinitely more damage.

Yes, let’s give dirt more votes than people. The Senate is antidemocratic.

It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds. You’re going to have to prove that’s what would happen. You’re also going to have to explain why that’s worse than underfunding and not meeting the everyday needs of actual people- the vast majority of whom do not live in rural America- to prevent rural America from “Becoming a dumping ground”. (Also while you’re at it, show how republicans aren’t already turning rural America into liter all dumping grounds with their regulatory rollbacks.)
