Man changes name to Literally Anybody Else and announces US presidential run (www.theguardian.com)

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.

Why downvote? That's exactly what I'm saying. I get news updates saying this person and that person have been elected at the local level, and the work is slow but supposedly they're chipping away at the problem. I want to be hopeful but find myself wondering if it's just propaganda.
