Army Veteran Changes Name to ‘Literally Anybody Else,’ Runs for President

Voters not thrilled with their options for president will be able to vote for anybody else.

Literally.

U.S. Army veteran and teacher formerly known as Dustin Ebey announced he had changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else” is now running for president.

“For too long have Americans been a victim of its political parties putting party loyalty over governance. Together lets send the message to Washington and say, ‘You will represent the people or be replace,” his bio states.

He is seeking to receive 13,000 signatures from Texas non-primary voters by May in order to make it onto the general election ballot.

If he does not receive that many signatures, Else is urging voters to write his name in.

According to USA Today, his website “offers brief details about his stances on several policy topics from housing affordability to securing the border. His team is working on setting up a campaign headquarters location in Texas soon.”

Speaking to the Dallas Morning News, Else said, “People are fed up.”

“Government is supposed to be by the people, for the people, but that’s not what we have here. We have a billionaire and a career politician,” he added.

His campaign comes weeks after former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden secured their respective party’s nomination, even as polls have founder voters say they wanted different choices.

My name is Nobody’s tax plan

“ Our tax plan rewards hard work and success by reducing the percentage of income you pay in taxes as you earn more. It supports small businesses, simplifies taxes, rewards innovation, and promotes environmental responsibility. It’s all about creating a fair and balanced tax system.”

Close to a theory I had about getting elected president. I once heard or read, I cant remember it’s been so long ago, that the third largest amount of votes in a presidential election were write in votes for Mickey Mouse.

My theory was to change my name to Mickey Mouse.

Our April 2 ballot has Christi, Vivak, deSantis, Haley, Trump, and “Uninstructed Delegation” plus write-in listed on the Republican one.

So all those contrarians can “make a statement” and throw their votes away.

Yeah, there is a little known clause in the Bill of Rights that states if you don't for a Democrat or a Republican, you are throwing your vote away. Also, if you don't embrace one of the top two religions, your soul will be cast into eternal damnation.

No such thing, and certainly not veering into religion therein. But if one chooses to vote, then chooses a Republican ballot, then chooses to vote as opposed to leaving that section of the ballot unmarked, then chooses to vote that none of the above candidates are acceptable, then I think one is throwing his or her vote away.

Literally Anybody Else née Dustin Ebey has launched a long-shot bid for the presidency, saying he wants to recognize that many Americans will be choosing between the lesser of two evils in November and they deserve a better option

But you ain't better than either. Okay, perhaps you are better than Biden, but by how much is questionable.

Anyone can use their legal name anyway they wish without fear of being sued.

There was once a high-ranking bureaucrat at the Bureau of Reclamation named Donald J. Duck. His name got him interviews on TV.
