May's deal being put to the people and rejected could potentially be a massive win for Labour, since it leaves the Tories with all the blame for Brexit being cancelled because they couldn't negotiate a decent deal. So it makes sense for them to back the Kyle amendment. The biggest risk is if the public actually back May's deal then Labour will get the fallout for facilitating Brexit. High risk, high reward.

we're absolutely getting Mays deal then

I mean, I definitely would do the same in her position, even if she is the very definition of the hundredth idiot. Nobody with a brain would have expected her to manage it.

Because it's being proposed at all and it's a terrible idea. I think the 'well we tried literally everything and Brexit still happened' is a fairly sound strategy but this somehow means letting it through while also standing in the way, there's no sound reasoning and just seems more like a panic move.

It's happenng regardless of what labour do, if they manage to get a vote on it that's better than them just blocking it and stuffing us out with no deal.

I don't understand you at all. Labour could not claim they had tried everything if they didn't take an opportunity to stop May's deal, which this is. It could take no deal Brexit off the table and gives us a chance to not Brexit at all. For an opposition party that's a massive achievement.

Like someone else said, Labour could spin a referendum on May's deal as both backing a #PeoplesVote and not standing in the way of Brexit. Whereas trying to vote it down without any credible alternative just looks like pushing us towards no-deal.

Plus May's deal is widely hated and Farage is already calling for people to boycott another referendum, so there's a decent chance remain would win if those were the only two options. And then the Tories would be truly hosed.

I often used to wonder when I was younger what would happen if people just didn't turn up to vote. There's no de minimis on legitimacy for UK elections though, unlike say the Scottish Home Rule referendum, so you'd just be playing prisoners' dilemma with fash and single issue parties.

Deliberately excluding a foreign visitor from conversation is a dick move tbh.

However, given white man's history of being a foreign visitor, being as hostile as possible is definitely the pro strat.
