Because DC has more people than Wyoming. And no representation, but are taxed fully.
Vermont has two Senators, and fewer people than DC, and DC doesn't even have its own police chief.
America should throw the T into the harbour.

Why doesn't DC have two Senators and Representatives? Well, what areas does America call America but have no Representation? Americans without democracy. Guam is one. Puerto Rico is another. American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands.
What's the same among these states?
Not majority white. Like Washington DC.
DC has the same population as Alaska, Puerto Rico larger than 18 states.
Racism, in law.
