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.

        “Put money against someone winning.” = “Betting that someone will win.”

        Or what didn’t make sense?

              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.
