We love democracy and apparently so do the X-Men. Marvel is giving fans a chance to vote on the final member in the first ever X-Men Election. During the epic X Of Swords, fans realized that, since the start of the Krakoan era there has been no official X-Men on the orders of Charles Xavier….

No, this is about 2020 Taylor Swift. Specifically evermore, her second full length album release this year which dropped last week. While we already established…
