This is probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but I rode across the USA (4200 miles across 12 weeks) about a decade ago and this is what I did:

I used an ancient kindle to display my pdf route/cue sheet from a clear pouch on a handlebar bag that I could easily read and “flip through” while riding. (You can also just use paper) The battery life lasted long enough to get through every week of campsites where power isn’t promised. We’d stop at a hotel about once a week just to have a nice shower and charge our things. Of course I also had a full set of maps as well, but they are more difficult to read while you’re riding- thus route/cue sheet.

I had my phone and would use GPS if I feel like I got lost. I didn’t have great service in large patches of the route, but the gps works regardless, so as long as you have the GPX files, it should point you in the right direction.

I also have a SON hub dynamo that lead to a Sinewave Cycles Revolution USB charger (there’s probably more modern USB chargers you can buy nowadays). But with that I charged a usb power bank and was able to charge my phone every night.

I’d also be interested if there exists a singular device like that that is able to last a long time on a tour. Good luck and have fun on the road!!

One month old joke not being extreme enough.

Wow that’s something for less than half the population of Florida. Good for them. That communist thing really working out then. Glad to hear it.

No investigation, no right to speak.

I’ll bet! Just barely being edged out in the GDP rankings by Uruguay and slightly ahead of El Salvador. “Wealth in Cuba is concentrated among a small elite, with estimates suggesting that about 1% of the population holds significant wealth, including luxury items and modern amenities. The majority of Cubans face economic challenges, with many living below the poverty line despite the government’s claims of low poverty rates.”

No investigation, no right to speak, fed.

Oh yeah, totes bro. Leftists have passed so many bills, you guys. Billions of dollars in funding for leftist goals, millions of proletariats supported, as spearheaded by the leftists in office in leftist imaginations. Puts Democrats to shame as far as made up accomplishments go. Hey that’s what a state news agency is for, baby!

So USA-brained that you have no idea what you’re talking about. Go investigate instead of being a racist cracker.

As a - whatever flava of leftist you supposedly support, you should know who has authority but I guess they don’t let y’all vote that often then anyway huh.

Socialists are democratic, have regular votes, are satisfied with their system and you would know if you investigated anything outside of the USA, western chauvinist.

How the fuck did you get there? Jeez you’re like open mic night at the sad lefty club.

Your “practical path” is violent and deadly, just not for you. You’re the extremist here and you’re begging people to vote for those funding genocide, regime change operations, and slavery because the alternative might make you and others like you uncomfy. Hell, both republicans and leftists being in charge would make you uncomfy, but you’d rather side with republicans against leftists in every real way.

Ah, living off the land eh? Got your little keyboard made out of mushrooms and an internet connection through the call of the wild do ya. That’s super. Hey while you’re lying to yourself and everyone else why not throw in that you made the world a better place by allowing trump to win. I mean, why not, right?

I guess inventing democrat positions makes one really good at having an active imaginations. If only you were curious enough to investigate any topic you felt so confident about. Very ‘murican of you. Maybe trying for a second not to support infinite death and destruction here and abroad and then maybe you might get leftists’ attention. Not only are you the reason for trump, but you deserve much worse because you have a supremacist’s mindset.

What land was that?

You were probably too busy at brunch to notice

The fact that you confidently lay that out and obviously don’t know why that is speaks volumes about your political acuity.

Go on then. Explain why the democrats had to support the civil rights legislation less than republicans. Defend the racist southern democrats’ position as you defend the modern democrats’ imperialist position.

Yes do tell how Cuba and China are beacons for us all.

In Cuba Literacy, maternal survival, and life expectancy are all better than the USA even after getting collectively punished by the USA for over 6 decades. They also have a much lower wealth disparity than the US. They also also developed multiple covid vaccines with a very robust biotech sector. 90% homeownership rate. Do you not know this because of western chauvinism, racism, propaganda, or a combination of them all? I’d do the same list for China, but they’ve surpassed the US so much in real, human ways that it’d be a waste of time to lay it all out for someone who won’t read it anyway. Go investigate or continue being a racist western chauvinist.

Yeah, I didn’t . . . think that at all.

So you bring up a list of topics leftist absolutely wipe the floor of Democrats with. Great strategy. Rivals the logic of convincing people to vote in an election by telling them their opponent cheats.

Correct! Five points.

Yes, ignore the further proof that voters lack authority to impact change necessary in the world. You barely have enough impact to change who gets bribed by corporations.

The fuck i am. I’m saying there’s a practical path to a better world and it’s not that complicated. Individuals stand in the way, but that’s why supporting a larger movement is a good thing.

So you’re okay with signing your name on bombs so long as it’s the practical decision to keep you comfy. How brave. Did you email your Dem representatives to thank them for agreeing with trump’s bombing of girls in Iran because it’s “practical” to keep gas prices low?

You’re completely delusional and destined to support the very systems you claim to hate so much. Like you did in 2024.

Destined to support capitalism? I didn’t support it in 2024 and I don’t support them now. You benefit from it obviously, the entire world and every person on it be damned. I think you’re just using words recreationally since you don’t understand the systems that cause you to think the way you think.

Democratic policy is relegated to your hopes and dreams, entirely separated from the reality of the situation. You think the Dems are better than leftists at environmental health, ignoring all the bombs they blow up and federal land they claimed they wouldn’t drill on that was drilled on. You should probably look at the civil rights voting records. More democrats in number and ratio were against civil rights legislation than even fuckin republicans. It’s the leftists that spearheaded that change in the US to the great annoyance of liberals. Education. Please compare education quality increases in Cuba and China compared with its decline in the US. Economic quality. Lmao. Unless you only care about landlords and weapons manufacturers, why even make this comparison? And if your goal was to compare democrats with republicans, know that I’m not a republican and I’m telling you that you’re more aligned with republicans than leftists (maybe not in the language you use, but in the actions you allow and defend)

Electors are appointed, not elected.

Want to know what “happened to me”? Realizing the comfort I have in the west is at the death and destruction of the global south. My life isn’t worth more than theirs and if you think yours is and you deserve the ill-gotten comfort you’ve become so accustomed to, you are defending white supremacist and imperialist systems. So much for your civil rights and economic equity.

You’re a reactionary that wants to push the horrors of the US back into the shadows so you can enjoy your segregated water fountain again. You don’t want democrats to get better because you are a white supremacist and use Republicans as an excuse to justify your own fucked up desires for your supremacy in this world.

No they’re just morons who demand to vote against their interests.

Do you even know what leftist interests are? Maybe they’re just against your interests which are more closely aligned with fascists than we feel comfortable attaching ourselves to.

Yes! The votes determine who takes office, see? That’s how that works.

The electors do that technically, not voters.

We don’t vote on the laws, we vote on the people who vote on the laws. So having an opinion doesn’t do anything to the law. It’s like saying public opinion has “near-zero” effect on the migration of the South African swallow.

Cool, so voters get to choose the face of our abusers but have no control on their abuse since that’s just an ignorable opinion. Great job. No notes.

Wow, you really - um. Yes? Voters do authorize people to hold office (and, by extension, deny others the authority to hold office) but the “ruling over us” part is just a weird way to say it. You see, governments are how societies agree to . . . Okay wait, so when people agree to live in society, they . . Okay let’s talk about the Constitution. You see they left this England place because it was bogus, and they were like, hey - if we don’t get some cool rules, pronto, then we’ll just be bogus too!

Vibes-based political opinion presented as humor.

When trump is gone I am definitely going to go to brunch. But otherwise (and still) no.

Unsurprising. I’ll still be fighting for something better because I’m not a white supremacist.

I’m sure when leftists are blamed again for not voting for someone funding a genocide, you’ll be all over the angry comments being like “no, you see, they told us this would happen explicitly, so it’s useless to be angry at them!” and definitely won’t join in on shooting said messengers. Leftists are simultaneously numerous enough to cost the democrats the election while also being not numerous enough for the democrats to want to move left to capture that block. The enemy is weak and also strong.

Do voters actually have authority? How many incredibly popular policies are ignored and how many incredibly unpopular policies are pushed through regardless? Princeton University said public opinion has “near-zero” impact on U.S. law. Should you just make a meme that tells voters to enact their authority on all those in the Epstein files if you believe their authority exists? Seems like voters have a singular ability to legitimize the authority of those who rule over us. You don’t even know if I live in a swing state or not to ascertain if my vote actually matters. In your mind, should the only political people be those in purple states? Should people in solid red or blue states not coordinate about more helpful solutions other than voting for who kills endless people here and abroad? When democrats regain power and continue deadly republican policy, will you be too busy celebrating at brunch to care?

Non-voters already have no motivation to go to the polls even with the current state of the world and you’ve just told them that it’s not a fairly run election lmao. Why do you think someone needs to have authority to tell you the issue here?

I think you just don’t like feeling uncomfortable with feeling like dems are going to lose yet again to the worst people on the planet if you don’t anxiously post memes and comments in support of the democrats. They aren’t organically popular. They need people like you to remind others that this system, like the divine right of kings, is a system that is will last throughout time. But this system is better because we get to choose the face of our abusers. It’s the best we can do and we don’t deserve better. Thank you for letting the livestock know their place.

Sounds like some shooting the messenger stuff, alright

Even if that is the case, “republicans cheat” isn’t a great argument to get non-voters (not those who purposefully abstained) to vote.

So what you’ve accomplished here is that (from your point of view), leftists are more likely to vote Republican and (from my point of view) non voters are demoralized further by their lack of sway in a place where democracy is already dead, causing them to stay home. People don’t like participating in rigged systems where cheating is common. If you didn’t want republicans to keep winning, you should probably delete this post lol.

You have to realize that this kind of question just makes people go straight to “death to America”, not “we have to vote for a more polite team to continue America’s long and bipartisan tradition of genocide, slavery, and imperialism”, right? Your framing is likely making people less likely to vote if that’s what you care about.

Democrats care about messaging (especially to centrists and republicans). Leftists care about actions. Leftists tend to hate imperialist action with a progressive hashtag more vocally because it’s just as deadly and twice as deceitful.

Assuming the metaphor is that western society is a mouth of teeth, it was full of rot before we were born. Republicans want to eat more candy. Democrats want to eat the same amount of candy republicans ate 4 years ago but brush every couple years at the voting booth in the hopes that the rot gets brushed away. Leftists want the rotten teeth pulled since it’s starting to affect the entire system now and will soon destroy the world cause heart disease if action isn’t taken.

If I ever write a manifesto, I’m running it through a jar jar binks and UWU filter first
