Due to the Coriolis Effect, why wouldn't all wind appear to bend toward the West?

Because the Earth moves counterclockwise from "above," why doesn't wind all deflect West? I understand that the northeast and southeast tradewinds move west, but why do the Westerlies in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres defy the Earth's Coriolis Effect and move eastward? I read explanations about how the high and low pressure affect the winds, but I still don't quite get it.
