I don’t think you have to expect the favor to be returned in other states where it helps your party in order to correct grave injustices in your own state.

No one in their right mind in any state would ever do this unless other states did it (and even then they might not). Of course this issue would be resolved if EC tossed and was replaced by popular vote

Is that just a fancy way to say that people don't really believe that it's an immoral/unjust system? ;)

No. And you know that.

I can't tell if you're assuming the left argues in bad faith or if it's you who is arguing in bad faith. Surely you know one can see X & Y as unjust but not want to change X unless it includes changing Y.

If you lived in California, and this were up for a vote, how would you vote?

If the whole system won't be fixed to be more just for everyone, then "fixing" CA (or TX) alone only makes the overall system LESS just. So I vote no until/unless we're getting more overall justice.
