Not for the first time, pick short video over therapy (2-5)

I believe the answer is:

re-elect

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not for the first time' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'pick short video over therapy' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'pick' could be 'elect' (to elect is to pick or select) and 'elect' is located in the answer.
'over' could be 're' and 're' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for re-elect that I've seen before include "Vote in again" , "Bring to power again" , "Put into power again" .)
