Ugh, this old trope again.

Yes, the senate skews congress highly rural. That's the point. It was designed that way. Frankly it works just fine except when electing a president or when doing things at the federal level that should be done at the state level.

At the state level, where most of the day to day stuff that affects people's lives is legislated the urban areas in any given state run the show unless the state is very, very, rural.

Furthermore, class based distinctions are mostly separate and parallel from urban vs rural ones. Both the hick and the hoodrat know full well their elected representatives, whether they voted for or against them, are nothing like them.
