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 cannot tell whether this works.

'pick short video over therapy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pick' could be 'elect' (to elect is to pick or select) and 'elect' is found within the answer.
'over' could be 're' and 're' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

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" .)
