Texas man says he is unsatisfied with Donald Trump and Joe Biden and says new name ‘isn’t a person, it’s a rally cry’

A Texas man has legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else and announced he is running for US president in the 2024 election.

Formerly known as Dustin Ebey, the 35-year-old is a US army veteran and seventh-grade math teacher in the suburbs of Dallas, and now has a Texas driver’s license to prove his name change.

He said he wanted to change his name because he was unsatisfied with this year’s presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

“Three hundred million people can do better,” he said in reference to the two frontrunners for the nation’s highest office. “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.

    If he actually wanted to change anything he’d be rallying against 2 senators per state. Instead he did some stupid bullshit that won’t change anyone’s mind at all.

      It won’t do anything, but it’s funny.

      However I do agree that there are way bigger fish to fry in govt right now. My personal beef is about the lack of term limits in congress. Those idiots should not be allowed to work 20+ years in an elected office simply because they are the familiar name.

        Term limits need to be balanced. Make it too short and legislators don’t develop the expertise needed to do their job. If legislators don’t know how to do their job, well-paid and well-connected lobbyists will gladly help legislators.

        Set the term length too long and you get entrenched legislators who’ve been in the job well past their expiration date.
