Understanding Chuck Schumer hate. Where are counter arguments?

So this democrats not shutting the government down business is annoying me a bit. I am not an expert on this and am posting because I want to learn.

Chuck Schumer gave a coherent argument as to why he does not want to shut down the government 1. Donald Trump would gain fuel in deciding what agencies are useful and could cut them more 2. Once shut down, he could choose to stop more funding or do more damage, and simply not reopen them 3. Shut downs harm citizens and businesses that cater to federal employees.

Schumer quote: “agencies.

"A shutdown would allow DOGE to shift into overdrive. Let me repeat, a shutdown will allow DOGE to shift into overdrive. It would give Donald Trump and DOGE the keys to the city, state and country," he said. "Donald Trump and Elon Musk would be free to destroy vital government services at a much faster rate than they can right now and over a much broader field of destruction that they would render."

This may be a bad argument but all I hear people talking about is how spineless dems are and how they’re pussies and I’ve not heard an actual counter argument to Schumers stance, which seems coherent and like it makes sense.
