This can be about either spiritual or political positions.
We know the big things that liberals and progressives tend to support, but sometimes it's smaller, less visible issues that get really interesting.
For instance, I'm in favor of having a nationally-recognized complementary currency. The first and main currency being the dollar, obviously, but the second being a work/time-based currency. Many localities have this sort of system already, but there's always a risk of it becoming inactive or neglected. I even think this type of currency fits better with the recently-trending proposal to completely overhaul the design of the dollar to one that celebrates the US' scientific achievements.
My favoring of that idea has entirely to do with it reflecting a real value of labor in the price of goods, and (in the local currency context) the potential to help build up disadvantaged communities.
