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

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.

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.
