I don't really believe it exists anymore. Just my opinion though.

It means being able to say/write/read what I want and not get put on a terrorist list.
It means being able to have an abortion whenever, wherever and for whatever reason I choose.
It means having medical care available to all citizens.
It means government funded childcare for single working mothers/fathers.
It means actually having a say in where my taxes go.
It means quality education for all children regardless of their location or family finances.
It means living in security not through the building of a Star Wars space missile program, but through international respect bought through our respect of the international community.
It means free access to contraceptives and family planning services for low-income women.

It means regime change.

Freedom of thought, expression, and choice.

A free press, "a cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press" (as the late federal judge Murray Gurfein once wrote).

Equal opportunity (what with one of my "inalienable rights" being "the pursuit of happiness").

Equal justice under the law.

Cultural diversity.

Personal responsibility.

Determination, innovation, and perseverance.

The infinite opportunities inherent in a capitalist economic system.

Common-sense regulation to keep capitalism from running amok and destroying opportunities for everyone but the ultra-rich.
