Button action not working in selenium python

I'm using selenium to click on a button and the HTML code for the button is like:

 div class="_1WZqU PNlAR" role="button">Join group</div

I tried with all possible solution:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('._1WZqU.PNlAR').click()
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('_1WZqU PNlAR').click()

But its throwing an error no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"._1WZqU.PNlAR"}

You can try this code : 

  button =   WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[contains(text(),'Join group')]")))  
  button.click()

make sure you are importing : 

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Make sure element should not be in any frame/frameset/iframe.

If it is inside any frame , you have to switch the focus of your driver to that particular frame/iframe in order to interact with it.

Note : This is a div , the above code would work if and only if the div is clickable.
