Biden 2020 got about 15.4 million more votes than Clinton 2016. Does that show Democratic fraud?

Clinton was an obnoxious hateful bitchy woman whom nobody liked. It makes perfect sense that she would represent the bottom of Democrat vote getting.

Barack Obama however represented the very top, and Biden beat him by 12 million votes.

Didn't happen. In no universe would people like Biden more than Barack Obama.

Then explain to me how Trump beat Trump by 11 million votes. Did the Republicans commit massive voter fraud in 2020, to juice up Trump’s total that way?

Biden got 51.3% of the vote. In Obama’s two runs, he got 52.9% and then 51.1%. So they did about as well. Obama had the advantage of being a more charismatic speaker. Biden had the advantage of running against Trump after the media had spent four years savaging him. (Obama never ran against an incumbent.)

Why did Biden get millions more raw votes than Obama? Same reason Trump 2020 got millions more raw votes than Trump 2016. In the 2020 election, LOTS more people voted. Here are the total numbers of votes cast in Obama’s two elections and in Trump’s two elections:

2008 131,313,820
2012 129,085,410
2016 136,669,276
2020 158,429,631

One possible explanation for the big jump from 2016 to 2020 is that the Democrats pumped more than 20 million fraudulent votes into the system. But if that’s what happened, why did roughly half those extra votes go to Trump? Why did Trump get a slightly HIGHER percentage of the popular vote in 2020 than he did in 2016?

The more plausible explanation is pretty obvious: A lot of states made voting easier (more early-voting days, no-excuse mail-in ballots, etc.), so turnout went up by several percentage points. Those new voters broke in roughly the same proportion as in other recent elections. Therefore, EACH major party made an eight-figure gain in its vote total.
