Why would they take a stand against their own interests?

  because their interests are, ostensibly, with their constituents.

    sounds like idealism more than a material analysis

    You must be new to politics, lol. I am not sure if modern politicians even pretend to represent their constituents these days. Special interests first, party second, constituents only during an election, but only if you have a close race.

      thats a defeatist attitude. "Oh the windows are already broken, let's spray paint the walls."

        "wait and vote and wait" is the defeatist attitude. "oh my window is smashed, let's put a new one up. oh my window is smashed, let's put a new one up. nothing else to be done about it." you got played by respecting ideals over materialism.
