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.

The fix has been in since Biden dropped out, all that remains is to see what sort of stochastic terrorism Trump's supporters get up to once reality starts settling in.

The US voting system is undemocratic and a huge percentage of the population seems to be out of their mind. Trump winning is still a very real danger.

[-] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

The only part of that you're wrong about is the last bit. Trump winning isn't the danger, the threat is his tantrum after he loses.

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

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

Or what didn't make sense?

[-] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

The part where you said that betting against Harris is the same thing as betting on Harris...

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, I didn't invent that saying, instead blame English for being a silly language 😁

[-] knightly@pawb.social 2 points 3 weeks 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.
