How could someone win the Presidency in America basically not campaigning, having few people at a rally, staying in their basement, and running on a platform of Communism? You can't. Unless the government has been compromised and taken over already. It was fixed folks. Stay safe.
You probably just don't get it
Come on VC, look at the handful of people who did show up for Biden's half-assed "rallies". Pick any one of them. The attendees were either half asleep or looking at their watches waiting for it to be over so they could get paid. The drive-in car rallies were even more of a joke.
Enthusiasm level: -10

What does a large voting turnout tell me? People vote when you make it easy for them to do so. Why should it be hard to vote? What a silly idea.
Ten states automatically sent out ballots TO REGISTERED VOTERS, and this was authorized by these states legislatures.
Elections and voting are the constitutional purview of each State. These states followed their laws and adminstered their elections. It's none of the Federal government's business as long as it is done with due process.
I know that authoritarians don't like democracy, but we still have it in America. Your disdain for poor Americans is quite clear. Are you suprised they don't agree with your ideology? You shouldn't be.
People didn't believe Trump's propaganda about Biden's son Hunter? LOL. Why not? Wasn't he impeached trying to get the Ukranians to help him? It's ridiculous to claim that Americans didn't know about the accusations against Hunter Biden.
Obviously, the election results speak clearly that you're mistaken. Many loyal Republicans voted their conscience and voted against Trump if not for Biden. Trump has never risen above 50% approval for more than a few days. He is an unpopular President and it is only his loyal followers who believe in unsubstantiated "silent majorities" that favor Trump.
The "silent majority" spoke in November; you guys just didn't like whath they had to say.
Thanks for making your disdain for most Americans so clear. Guess what? We're noticing.

Trump gave Fat Boy Kim something he could never buy or take by force: he sat down with the President of the United States as an equal.
No other leader, let alone a world leader, has given Kim such a platform.
In return, he gave nothing. He continued to arm, to build missiles, to threaten his neighbours.
The problem isn't Trump's intention. The problem is the complete political hash he made of it.

What it shows is how much people want to be rid of Trump.
That’s it.
Why didnt those same ppl show up to Biden rallies in droves then?
Because they dont exist.
That is certainly one viable perspective while Occam would indicate another much more logical reason explains it: those people were doing what they thought was right in trying to mitigate COVID.
That being said, could you give me some examples of the scenario you are talking about?
Understanding that none of the sources I list below are far right, Trumpcentric web sites they seem to do a pretty good job refuting this growing urban legend of crowd size at a Trump rally vs crowd size at a Biden rally reflecting popularity.

Trump was filling up arenas and airport runways.
Biden couldnt fill up a Honda Pilot.
I dont need USA Today to tell me how big of a deal that is.

In rough order ...
You stated that people are too lazy to get out and vote. Yes, that is your personal opinion about the need for absentee voting.
The rest of it I can't help you with, as again, you're galloping off-topic.

That's what happens when people use some semblance of brain cells during a pandemic. The right side doesn't believe in it so they go to the rallies. The left side uses their brain and don't go.
It's really not hard to understand if you have a brain. Just sayin'

Interesting link with states and how mail ballots are handled (and mis handled) because of COVID and possible legislative bypassing and signature laxity and the "automatic fumble cluck" ☠️
☠️All-mail voting☠️

Yes, rephrasing it is unnecessary. It is your opinion that someone requesting a ballot by mail is too lazy to vote. I understood that the first time.
There is zero reason that every election could not be conducted in every State by absentee ballot. Five states have been doing that entirely for years. No massive fraud.
