Well it should surprise you that America is in fact a Republic, and not a democracy, also the whole point of having two houses in the legislature was so that smaller states would feel more equally represented than just having one house based off population, in which small states would have almost no voice whatsoever.

Is that what you guys say to justify things like California having as many senators as Wyoming, when the former has a population that's bigger by over 60 times? Why is a Californian's vote worth 1/60th of a Wyomingian's?

That is where the The House of Representatives, the other house of Congress comes into play. That house is based off population. Both houses serve different means of representation; in the Senate it is guaranteed equal representation for all states, and in the House of Representatives the representation goes off population so bigger states have much greater representation in that house.
