Ten of the Democratic candidates for President faced off last night in the fifth debate of the 2020 cycle and the Internet had a lot to say. Here are some of our favorite tweets from the night:
We weren’t the only ones excited to see so many women participating – in the moderator’s chairs and on the stage…
It’s so amazing to see so many smart women on the stage #DemDebate

I finally let my seven year old daughter watch with me and her first comments were “THERE ARE THREE OR FOUR GIRLS ON THAT STAGE.”
And “OMG IT’S @maddow!” https://t.co/VsTVF2bi3L

And people were happy to see women’s issues take center stage…
Yes @amyklobuchar “women are held to a higher standard.” For the last 20 years, our @BLFF_org research has proven this fact every time.

It makes a world of difference when there’s more than one woman in the room – at work and on the debate stage. No more “Onlys.” #DemDebate https://t.co/2aFuiVs9JL

Tonight we heard questions on:
Child care
Paid family leave
Equal pay#MeToo
Reproductive rightsCan we have four women moderate every debate? #DemDebate https://t.co/wNDNcqcw7d

For 20 years, @BLFF_org research has consistently shown that women have to work twice as hard to prove their qualifications. For men, qualification is assumed. #DemDebate https://t.co/xKM7Z4uga7

And of course, the internet appreciated last night’s zingers…
Please someone give me the gif of Kamala doing the shrug emoji 🤷♀️

“I raised 17 million dollars from ex-boyfriends” is the precise kind of energy i’m bringing into 2020. #DemDebate

And everyone agreed, it’s been a long road to the fifth #DemDebate, and we’re not even half way through! Is it 2020 yet??
Between the impeachment hearings and the debate, I can’t remember a time that it wasn’t today
