(Photo: Saul Loeb\/AFP\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asking the American public to judge his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign by both its supporters and its powerful enemies, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday unveiled an &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/berniesanders.com\/anti-endorsements\/\">anti-endorsement<\/a>&#8221; list consisting of prominent billionaires, Wall Street bankers, and corporate CEOs who have attacked his candidacy and policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These people have a vested interest in preserving the status quo so they can keep their grip on power so they can continue to exploit working people across America.&#8221;&nbsp;<br>\u2014Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You can tell who is truly fighting for working families by the enemies they make, and we&#8217;ve made a lot of enemies,&#8221; Sanders said in a statement. &#8220;We understand that nothing will fundamentally change for working Americans unless we have the guts to take on the most powerful corporate interests in this country.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Therefore it should come as no surprise that corporate CEOs and billionaires have united against our movement,&#8221; Sanders added. &#8220;These people have a vested interest in preserving the status quo so they can keep their grip on power so they can continue to exploit working people across America. We welcome their hatred.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sanders campaign lists the Vermont senator&#8217;s anti-endorsements on a new webpage. The page includes billionaire Democratic mega-donor Haim Saban, who&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commondreams.org\/news\/2019\/07\/10\/billionaire-mega-donor-haim-saban-says-he-loves-all-2020-democrats-except-bernie\">attacked Sanders<\/a>&nbsp;as a &#8220;disaster zone&#8221; in an interview published Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the list consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Billionaire Home Depot co-founder Kenneth Langone;<\/li><li>Former CKE Restaurants CEO Andy Puzder;<\/li><li>Former Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam;<\/li><li>JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon;<\/li><li>Disney CEO Bob Iger;<\/li><li>Former General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt;<\/li><li>Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein;<\/li><li>Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan;<\/li><li>Centrist think-tank Third Way;<\/li><li>Former Goldman Sachs partner Leon Cooperman;<\/li><li>Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus; and<\/li><li>Billionaire hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As we fight for an agenda that guarantees basic human rights for all Americans, we will be opposed by the most powerful forces in America,&#8221; Sanders wrote on his website. &#8220;I am proud to announce the modern-day oligarchs who oppose our movement. In the words of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt: &#8216;They are unanimous in their hate for me\u2013and I welcome their hatred.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We will overcome their greed,&#8221; said Sanders, &#8220;and create an economy and a government that works for all, not just the one percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Our work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.
