I'm trying to understand why this thread got closed

The thread’s closing is consistent with guidelines What_Exit previously gave to you.

@What_Exit

If the thread has been around for awhile (usually months) and it is down to a few principles yelling at each other and generating flags; we’ll probably close it.

Please take a look at the GD and P&E rules:

New Rules for Great Debates and Elections – January 2020

This will give you a feel for what guides us to some degree.
