I find many not wanting to belong to either, only because they feel both groups need to grow up and get along, or don’t help at all. NOW, DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!
Mind you I have had these issues trying to start a local chapter here in Suffolk County. So there are people that would just not want to be part of either.
I have been on the ACB website before, I myself don’t like the fact they still have 6-7 pages of bashing the NFB from the original break up of the NFB way back when. Many of us were not even born or children when this came about.
And you know what they say about people being prejudice, you are not born that way it is learned.

I figure they can be ACB members not thinking of jumping ship too, as
long as they’re not trying to cause a constant ruckus. I personally
don’t even mind a debate now and then about their views versus ours.
If our position cannot stand up to honest debate, then we ought to
change it. Of course, the same holds true of theirs.
Unfortunately, too often debates of this nature degrade to false
dichotomies, straw men, and your basic ad homiem. If that could be
avoided, we might actually get somewhere with trying to unite the
blindness community on at least those issues where there is common
ground (which is more of them than you’d think, actually!)
I didn’t have much luck with that effort. Too many hotheads on both
sides. Of course I’ve got my own opinions about the distribution of
hotheads is to each side, and to what extent they are tolerated or
even welcomed by one versus the other.
Suffice it to say that I don’t predict much unity in our future. And
that’s a real shame.
