Dustin Ebey, 35, said he changed his name so that he could express his dissatisfaction with the current presidential candidates Donald Trump and Joe Biden.“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,” he added.
Mr Ebey, who is a US army veteran and a seventh-grade math teacher in the suburbs of Dallas, said his name change was approved by a judge, and he has now obtained an official driver’s license with his new name.
The 35-year-old has accepted that this is unlikely, adding that he is “not delusional,” so he is focusing his efforts on campaigning to get people to write in his name on their ballot paper.
In a statement posted on his website, Mr Ebey wrote: “Literally Anybody Else isn’t a person, it’s a rally cry.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in January found that about two-thirds of Americans were “tired of seeing the same candidates in presidential elections and want someone new.”
