Answer: HOPE THIS HELPS!!
Once a decade, every state redraws its electoral districts, determining which people will be represented by each politician. In many states, this means that politicians gather behind computer screens to figure out how they can manipulate the lines to box out their competition and maximize the power of their political party. While an increasing number of states employ independent commissions to draw district lines, the large majority still lack safeguards to prevent partisan favoritism in the redistricting process—also known as partisan gerrymandering.
It has been almost a decade since the 2010 cycle of redistricting, and the country is still reckoning with the impact. Last May, the Center for American Progress published a report that found that unfairly drawn congressional districts shifted, on average, a whopping 59 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 2012, 2014, and 2016 elections. That means that every other November, 59 politicians that would not have been elected based on statewide voter support for their party won anyway because the lines were drawn in their favor—often by their allies in the Republican or Democratic Party.
To help put this number in perspective, a shift of 59 seats is slightly more than the total number of seats apportioned to the 22 smallest states by population. It is also more than the number of representatives for America’s largest state, California, which has 53 House members representing a population of nearly 40 million people.

Explanation:
The quotes in the "no" category do not symbolize a lack of faith in government; while they do allude to Americans losing hope, they do not do so in regards to their government. The quotes in the "yes" category on the other hand, directly tie Americans' lack of motivation and hope to the state of their government. Not voting indicates an unwillingness to choose from the selection of candidates given at election time. A lack of hope for the next five years indicates that the belief that the government will do what's right by the people is quickly fading.
