I wonder if you can get a return on the peterson bust so you could buy it and make a mold then return it without losing any money. Then you can make all the silicone buttplugs you want

I'm changing my name to "none of the above" and running for office.

I'm also starting a new party also called "the republican party." It's got great brand recognition built in.

He does, he’s just mad that they pre-empted his really stupid idea for a name with laws that say “no, that name is legally too stupid to use”.

Exploration is ill-advised.
People literally do that kind of thing, changing their names to be similar to rival candidates so as to confuse voters.

i read a story about a woman who changed her name to be the same as a local politician, claiming the politician had inspired her when she was young. the judge granted the name change and then she tried to run in an election for something and the politician sued her and won

Don't remember if this is the specific case or not, but they interviewed a guy on the BBC whose opponents were doing this.

He was, of course, an opposition candidate to Putin's party and it was a tactic to intentionally divert votes. Similar appearance and exact same name.

Didn’t we have one here too? Like there was a Joe Hernandez and the opposition ran some guy called John Hernandez, something like that?

Rhino, you did this to me!

I don't know what you mean by "here" but I know during the last election in Florida there was at least one fake candidate with a name either the same or very similar to the democrat. Investigations basically turned up that some of the required information was false (like he didn't even live where he was supposed to, or something).

Wikipedia posted:

According to The Miami Herald in December 2020, Artiles took credit for the election of Republican Ileana Garcia to the Florida Senate, by recruiting Alex Rodríguez to run in the same race. In a sworn affidavit, three attendees of an election party where the comments were made later received threatening legal letters from Artiles. [18] Alex Rodríguez, who did not declare a party affiliation, had the same surname as the Democratic incumbent José Javier Rodríguez. Garcia won by 32 votes, with Alex Rodríguez obtaining over 6,300 votes in the election despite his failure to campaign during the election. According to The Miami Herald, Alex Rodríguez is an acquaintance of Artiles.[19] In March 2021, Artiles was arrested in connection with the scheme, as it was alleged that he had bribed Alex Rodríguez to enter the race and siphon votes from José Javier Rodríguez.[20] Artiles was charged with making or receiving two or more excessive campaign contributions, conspiracy to make or receive two or more excessive campaign contributions, and false swearing regarding voting or elections.[21] Prosecutors filed additional charges against Artiles and Rodriguez on April 8, 2021.[22] On August 24, 2021, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to accepting illegal campaign donations and lying on campaign documents, and agreed to testify against Artiles.[23]
