Not to mention the shutdown started before the Democrats officially took the House on January 3rd. The Repiblicans couldn't even get a majority of Republicans on board with the wall, let alone the Democrats.
Tho frame this as Democrats vs. Republicans is disingenuous. It started under a Republican controlled Congress, and they easily could have gone through reconcilliation and passed with a simple majority.
Hell, you don't even need to go through reconcilliation. A bidget resolution can be passed in either the House or Senate with a simple majority.
