Presumably they mean "every leftist that holds this opinion, I've talked to", not "every leftist I've ever talked to".

- rootusrootus 3y agoThat's a charitable reading given they literally wrote the latter, not the former.
- Chris2048 3y agoA charitable reading requires fair consideration. First, they didn't literally write the latter: A: every leftist I've talked to B: every leftist I've ever talked to Second, if true, would imply that every leftist they've ever talked to will always get asked "who will run the garbage system, and who will clean the sewer" which wouldn't make sense outside the context of having given a specific opinion on a specific topic first. Hence the topic of conversation is implied as context.
