"You don't speak for the ~7.7B people not in the US."

vs

"You don't speak for me"

One of those comments is speaking for a lot more people




Where did you get "you don't speak for me"?

It's "I can tell you that to us you're all the same" vs "You don't speak for the ~7.7B people not in the US."

One person is trying to speak for 7.7B and the other is advising against that.


>Where did you get "you don't speak for me"?

It was an example of how to state unambiguously who was/was not being spoken for to contrast with the other statement. Maybe because I put it in quotes led you to think I was quoting someone, but it looked odd without to me.


No it isn't, both are correct statements of fact.
