    ROSEVILLE, Calif. — By now Victoria Thompson has heard it many times. She's crazy. She's throwing her vote away.

    Worse, those who loathe Donald Trump say she's helping the unscrupulous ex-president reclaim the White House — even though she's never voted for him and never will — by refusing to back Joe Biden's reelection.

    Thompson is unabashed.

    "I have no responsibility to vote for the Democratic [nominee]," said the 63-year-old retiree, a Democrat for most of her life. "Their responsibility is to the citizens. They should put forward a candidate that we want to vote for."

    People like Thompson, who the presidential contest, with most coming around by November to support one of the two major party nominees — even if it means holding their nose.
