No-deal Brexit opponents defeat government

How can they weaken their negotiating position? The UK is already at zero.

If the people really want a no-deal Brexit (which is what they are going to get at the end of October), then they can vote for it.

The US can weaken their negotiating position by having to agree to any deal, as mentioned in the comment you're replying to.

The UK isn't at zero. The EU export to the UK. Surely you know this?

The UK doesn't have any negotiating leverage. It's May's Withdrawal Agreement, or no deal. Boris Johnson is pantomiming negotiations with the EU, but there's no basis on which to negotiate. Surely you know this?
