Blame will be placed on Democrats. Trump knows that and that is why he cancelled the meeting. It also works in Trumps favor because he can fire more people. It’s a win or win situation for Trump.
On Shutdown, Democrats Turn to Simple Strategy: Do Something | They want to show their willingness to fight, even if the battle ends in defeat.

I hate to say this , but
(Future) Narrator: they did not do all they could, and made agreements that disappointed their base. “We have succeeded in keeping the government open.”

Doesn’t really matter if they make agreements since the courts dont treat the law or constitution as binding for Trump. So might as well toss as much sand in the gears as they can

Yes, they should. But I fear they will do a token sand throwing. If they have a bucket of sand, will use a tablespoon. Enough for a sound bite.
Maybe after consideration a pinch more.
I will be delighted if I am wrong . But they are not in the proper headspace to be a proper opposition party. Should the democrats loose next year I think some will learn. However I think they will secure majority in congress next year
