    The bulk of the membership are people who switched their monthly Bernie donation to DSA dues.

    So they have a bunch of money to do things. I can't see anything wrong with that..

      I would not call collecting donations "membership." There is not much socialists can do with $5 a month. We need labor.

        The cheapest you can pay is $20 a year, $27 if not a student. Or you can completely waive it.

        Not with an individual donation of $5 a month. Obviously.

        We need labor.

        People need their labor, to sell, to survive. I get that you want more people helping with work, but getting more members who will mostly pay their dues, does not hinder this goal.
