If I follow correctly, Jacquerie is simply pointing out that everybody compromises. Elected officials absolutely must compromise, build coalitions, etc.
How do we make their self-interest our self-interest? They get money, perks, etc.
This is not compromise. This is outright lying to get elected, and then pivoting once safely in office. Use McConnell's Kentucky pledges to repeal Obamacare as evidence; Roberts' calling balls and strikes; Flake campaigning as a Conservative.
This is asking your neighbors to be their representative, and then supporting the interests of illegal aliens and H-1B foreigners over the interests of your neighbors.

When the 17th Amendment was passed in 1913, every previously state appointed senator who ran for popular election in 1914 was reelected.
Even into the 1930s, Scotus blocked FDR's New Deal for a while. By the time of his death, FDR had appointed eight of the nine sitting justices and progressivism was well underway.
Now why did 1930s senators consent to FDR's radical judicial nominations? They were scared to oppose an incredibly popular president and lose their next elections.
In the interest of keeping their jobs, the senate of the 1930s allowed a President and Scotus to fundamentally transform America.
It is happening again, with the difference that there is little liberty to relinquish.
