I know it doesn't matter now but they really need to reform whatever is stopping them from finishing the count.

California only has 60% counted. Most people don't notice because it's one-sided presidentially. I don't think we have an inherent right to rapid results, only accurate ones. It's worth noting that none of the states are official yet, 'calling' is just media outlets following a confidence interval.

AZ is not called so we can be 145% sure that Kari Lake lost so we don't have to hear her bullshit for months.

I'll give you right of Biden and maybe right of 2008 Obama, although that's debatable, but otherwise absolutely not.

The party is about to return to the 1990s, so you'll get to see how much further left they were.

This. Everyone on the right wants to brag about FL, but they have almost two weeks between election day and certification. They can only make super quick calls when the margin of victory isn't razor thin. If you have to wait for mail and provisional ballots to know the winner it's going to take time.

Potentially unpopular opinion: I think most if not all of the comparisons to 2020, while natural, are misplaced. COVID was a unique situation and emergency. Extrapolating those trends to elections afterwards is not reasonable, because some people motivated by that to vote are not going to behave the same way when there's nothing they see as a crisis of the same level of urgency.
