Trump sends migrants overseas to be tortured. Mamdani says the very rich should pay a little more for better city services (free buses, etc.). These are not comparable at all. What is behind this disingenuous both-sidesism? What is going on in VC-land?

With all due respect, this is errant nonsense. Mamdani won a primary in a city. Trump was elected and took office as executive of the most powerful nation on earth. This distinction alone marks the article as propaganda.
