see the type of people attending you should have asked them why they were there but the working stiffs didn't attend. You can always go to your local Wahl Mart and ask the employees there why they didn't attend. I would be willing to bet that they can't get the time off. Ask the people at the fast food joints and service businesses why they didn't attend. I'm willing to bet they couldn't get the time off. Here's how it goes when you work a service job.

Hey Boss, there's a Bernie Sanders rally today, I'm not coming in.
you get in here and work your scheduled shift today or your fired.

That's about how that conversation would go
