A 35-year-old man from Dallas, Texas, who was previously known as Dustin Ebey, has legally changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else” and announced his intention to run in the 2024 US presidential elections. He believes that by running as a candidate, he can tap into the dissatisfaction with the two main candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and offer an alternative option for voters.
In his statement to The Guardian, he expressed that he believes the American people deserve better than the current options and that there should be a chance for individuals like himself who are tired of the power held by the two main parties. By running as “Literally Anybody Else,” he hopes to convey the message that there are alternative choices beyond Biden and Trump and hopes to serve as a protest against the current political landscape.
He is currently working to collect 113,000 signatures to put his name on the ballot in Texas. However, if this goal is not met by May 29th, he is encouraging supporters to write “literally anybody else” on their ballots as a symbolic gesture. He firmly believes that America should not be forced to choose between what he describes as the “debt king” and an 81-year-old candidate.
By taking this unconventional approach to his candidacy, “Literally Anybody Else” hopes to spark a conversation about the need for alternative options in the political arena and provide a fresh perspective for voters in the upcoming elections.
