Theres only three reasons I can see

1. They dont want to get it wrong and have egg on their faces. (We are way past the point of being wrong however)

2. No one wants to be the first to call it given the amount of anger it would create among the Trump supporters, who are prone to violence and intimidation when in large numbers.

3. They are waiting to make it look like every single damn vote has been cast before the result is called, to fight Trumps message of a rigged election.

4. They all want FOX to do it after the last five years fo FOX being a literal cesspool.

No excuses really. AP called Arizona early, they could have called the race by now.

Yeah none of them are even close to being valid.

I would be furious if I was Biden.

It's also to be expected when someone loses an election. Not that Trump has any idea what personal honour is.

I'm not convinced. If you don't want to make it about death, don't use death imagery.

This has been a popular meme for a while now, with it being used for the Democratic primaries in particular.

I dont get why the right tries to make Biden scary.

I understand, somehow you guys made Hillary into a bra burning, soldier smearing, money stealing, person killing uber-monster, but Joe Biden is not Hillary Clinton.

Joe Biden is some old dude whose governing philosophy is probably going to be a call back to the 80s, if not the 90s. He is about as scary as a wet napkin.

Well, he has quite clearly won the popular vote, several states and the "who looks more presidential after the election" award.

He's all but won. There's no proof that it is in any way fraudulent. They've even corrected a few mistakes they found - one in Biden's favour, one in Trump's favour.

He is not gone yet. And he has still a number of ways how he can remain in office depending on how far the GOP is willing to go, aka having red states assuming direct control over the electors. (yes they can)

Which would be an radical measure. But hey the GOP isnt known for disenfranchising voters. Mitch and Co. would never do such a thing. Like ever. ;)
