You can express the "do nothing" opinion by staying home. I can see
this if they are just voting to maintain their registration to vote in
future elections. However, as a political statement, it is pretty much
a waste of time. Not voting at all sends nearly the same message.

bow do you know the difference between someone who did stay home because
they thought about the issues, and reject all the choices put before them,
and the folks who did stay home out of apathy or laziness?

You are unfortunately right in saying that voting 'none of the above' is
a waste of time, since it is not counted differently but it certainly
ought to be.
