Is it strange that I'm not matched with a party on economics?

This is either proof that the survey isn't very good, or that all political parties are essentially the same on a lot of issues (or I am very much in the middle on everything):

I think it's more the latter tbh
my Third Positionist responses tripped it up pretty bad since US politics has nothing resembling this whatsoever, I guess centrist was the closest concept they could find

I know it says Green Party, and I like the GP, but I just disagree with a lot of their basic stances in their platform. I personally think I agree with the Democrats, but if the GP fixed some things I'll sign up in a heart beat.
It also said 92% Bernie Sanders and 78% HRC. I like HRC and most likely will vote for her, but I think I'll take a look at Sanders now.

I like the Green Party but what sucks about American Politics is that it is a 2 party race. It said the candidate I was suited best for was Bernie Sanders and I am not going to vote for him however because voting for a third party candidate is basically throwing your vote away. I mean third party candidates dont even get to debate with the Reps and Dems on Natl' tv

It's not really trowing your vote away. Third parties can make a difference, just look at 1968. There just need to be more support for the minor parties. Plus the Green party will have it's own presidential candidate soon. Will that person win, probably not, but who knows in the future maybe. Democracy!

I did some research just now about the 1968 election and that's another thing that makes me mad. Nixon won by 500,000 votes but he also won by over 100 electoral votes and that's what really matters not the popular vote so... so much for democracy. And I thought you would have quoted the election of 1912 when Eugene V. Debs, a Socialist candidate, received nearly a million votes

I was quoting that election because a third party candidate actually got some electoral votes, which maters more. But, Eugene V. Debs as a good third party run, as well as TR's bull moose party. But if you are looking at popular vote, the elections of 1924, 1948, 1980, 1992, and 1996 were all good performances by third party candidates.
