    “support” has multiple definitions. My chair supports me.

    Someone standing on my shoulders is being supported by me whether or not I like the situation.

      If we take your chair away, you fall. If we take you away, the person standing on your shoulders falls.

      What happens if we take a non-voter out of the picture? Does that change the outcome in any way?
