I know I’m going against the grain here, I’m obviously no Harris lover, but also I’d prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that’s controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don’t want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.
That doesn’t make any sense.
“Put money against someone winning.” = “Betting that someone will win.”
Or what didn’t make sense?
The part where you said that betting against Harris is the same thing as betting on Harris…
Hey, I didn’t invent that saying, instead blame English for being a silly language 😁
It would be put money on Harris winning.
I’m not blaming English because I can’t find any other examples of people misusing it like that.
Betting against something has never meant a bet that the thing will happen, betting against means that you think the thing won’t happen.
