Many Americans are dismayed, saddened and tired of the political divisiveness that for a decade has dominated our lives.
There’s also a rising fear that a president — whose own authoritarian pronouncements threaten our very Constitution — may be elected by only a minority of the popular vote because of the Electoral College.
The post-pandemic American economy has rebounded. Whatever one’s political bias, there is another good reason to vote for Kamala Harris and the Democratic ticket. Harris will govern in a spirit of bipartisan negotiation. It’s a way of valuing multiple voices in the legislative process.
As attorney general from California, a U.S. senator and now vice president, Harris is politically seasoned. She has the background, experience and character to be president of the United States.
On Nov. 5, vote for Harris and the Democratic ticket.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
