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.

Okay, with that confidence I suggest you put a couple of grand against Harris winning.

That doesn't make any sense.

"Put money against someone winning." = "Betting that someone will win."

Or what didn't make sense?

[-] knightly@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

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 😁

[-] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

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.

It would be put money on Harris winning.
