A lot of upper houses are by definition anti-democratic. They represent states or provinces, not people. It's the same thing over here, where a federal senator can be elected with less votes than the mayor of an average town. The Republicans own a lot of those smaller states.
If Democrats want to do something about it instead of watching the Senate favor Republicans for decades, they need to know how to play the game: push for Puerto Rico and DC statehood, split California, go for candidates representing local needs over national needs etc.
