Here are some quotes from during the debate:
“Candidates have taken certain constituencies for granted, and when it gets near election time they show up to a black church they’ve never been before,” – Senator Kamala Harris
“I also wore the uniform of this country and know what is at stake in the decisions that are made in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room. And I know how to bring people together to get things done. I know that from the perspective of Washington, what goes on in my city might look small, but frankly, where we live, the infighting on Capitol Hill is what looks small. The usual way of doing business in Washington is what looks small.” – Mayor Pete Buttigieg
“Women are held to a higher standard. Otherwise, we could play a game called name your favorite woman president, which we can’t do, because it has all been men…And including all vice presidents being men. And I think any working woman out there, any woman that’s at home knows exactly what I mean. We have to work harder, and that’s a fact.” – Senator Amy Klobuchar
“When you look at inequality in the United States of America, you have to start with housing. Where you put your head at night determines so many things about your life. It determines where your kids go to school. It determines the air you breathe, where you shop, how long it takes you to get to work.” – Billionaire Philanthropist Tom Steyer
“What we have got to do tonight, and I will do as president, is to tell the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of this planet. And by the way, the fossil fuel industry is probably criminally liable, because they have lied and lied and lied when they had the evidence that their carbon products were destroying the planet, and maybe we should think about prosecuting them, as well.” – Senator Bernie Sanders
“BIDEN:If you notice, I have more people supporting me in the black community that have announced for me because they know me, they know who I am. Three former chairs of the black caucus, the only African-American woman that’s ever been elected to the United States Senate, a whole range of people…
HARRIS: No, that’s not true.
BOOKER: That’s not true.
HARRIS: The other one is here.”
