It's fait accompli at this point, but after some consideration, I'm going to agree with Schumer.

If the Democrats don't vote for the bill and cause a shutdown, the shutdown and ensuing chaos will be rightfully laid at their feet. Passing the bill allows the government to keep running. Any chaos at that point belongs to the Republicans.

The talking point is this: "Look, we passed the bill they wanted. If things aren't working out, it's because of the Republican's bill. We didn't create it. This is all on the Republicans in the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. It's their bill and their votes that passed it."

I'd also invoke a bit of Sun Tzu. Don't interrupt your enemy when he is making mistakes.
