Dissatisfied With Trump-Biden Rematch, Man Changes Name To ‘Literally Anybody Else’, Announces White House Run

35-year-old US army veteran and seventh-grade maths teacher from Texas Dustin Ebey is perhaps the most frustrated with this year’s main election candidates.

Dissatisfied with this year’s anticipated rematch between US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump, Ebey took matters in his own hands and is on his way to offer a change from the “constant power grab between the two parties”.

Dustin Ebey legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else and announced he is running for US president in the 2024 election, according to a report by a US-based broadcaster WFAA88.

The Texas resident also has the state driver’s licence to prove his name change.

His decision to change his name came from the fact that he was unsatisfied with this year’s presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

“Three hundred million people can do better. There really should be some outlet for people like me who are just so fed up with this constant power grab between the two parties that just has no benefit to the common person,” Literally Anybody Else was quoted as saying by WFAA88.

“It’s not necessarily about me as a person, but it’s about literally anybody else as an idea,” he said.

Literally Anybody Else will need 113,000 signatures from non-primary voters in the state of Texas by May after which he will get his name on ballots. It is unlikely that it will happen but the veteran is campaigning to get people to write in his name.

“We don’t have a ‘neither’ option on the ballot, and this kind of fills that role,” he said.

He also launched a website which says: “Literally Anybody Else isn’t a person, it’s a rally cry”.

“For too long have Americans been a victim of its political parties putting party loyalty over governance. Together let’s send the message to Washington and say, ‘You will represent or be replaced’,” the candidate’s website says.

“America should not be stuck choosing between the “King of Debt” (his self-declaration) and an 81-year old,” the website says, in an apparent reference to Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Many Americans and some presidential candidates, like Nikki Haley, have raised issues with two aged candidates fighting it out for the role of the US President. Some fear the country may gradually slip into gerontocracy.
