I think you misunderstood what they meant.
The problem with the Senate is that tiny states like Wyoming have the same power as huge states like California.
That means that people living in rural areas (or just small states) have far more power and representation in the Senate than people in urban areas.
Well first off, the Senate is only part of Congress and the other half has more proportional representation. But more to the point, I was responding mostly to the remark about direct democracy. But it seems some people don't mean direct democracy when they say direct democracy. The voting for congresspeople in the House of Representatives is not direct democracy, that's representative democracy (isn't the name a clue?)
