Offering proposal A and completely opposite proposal B = VOTING and not
consensus.

In consensus, the default if a proposal does not achieve consensus is...the
status quo. So if the proposal is to change something (raise dues $5) and it
cannot be accepted, the status quo (current dues) remains in place.
