selenium python, attempt to click button - python-3.x

Question

I'm trying to click a "load more" button with the following code
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="mainContent"]/div[1]/div/div[5]/div/div[1]').click()
browser.find_element_by_css_selector('#mainContent > div.left-panel > div > div.result-list > div > div.content').click()
browser.find_element_by_link_text('Load More').click()
I receive the following error:

I've tried each of those 3 individually but can't seem to get selenium to click the button
When pressing inspect that is the following element I receive
The element code is as follows:
<div class="content" onclick="javascript:mtvn.btg.Controller.sendLinkEvent({ linkName:'PROFMIDPANE:LoadMore', linkType:'o' } );">Load More</div>
if anyone has any recommendations on how I can achieve this I would greatly appreciate it!
UPDATE:
I tried the two solutions recommended to me but unfortunately didn't work out, I will post it here if anyone is interested.
iamsankalp89 solution:
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']")))
element.click()

Julian Moreno solution:
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element("//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']").click("//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']").perform()

Answer 1

Try this xpath
//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']
The code is like this:
browser.find_element_by_xpath('//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']').click()
Also use WebDriverWait
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='content' and text()='Load More']")))
element.click()

Answer 2

Try using ActionChains:
class selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains.ActionChains(driver)
ActionChains(driver).move_to_element(your_element).click(your_element).perform()
The move to element will move the mouse (cursor) to the middle of the element (your_element) then the perform function will perform the actions chained.
EDIT
Try this:
load_more = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("#mainContent > div.left-panel > div > div.result-list > div > div.content")
WebDriverWait(browser, timeout).until(EC.visibility_of(load_more))
browser.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", load_more)
ActionChains(browser).move_to_element(load_more).click().perform()
The ActionChains(browser).move_to_element() accepts WebElement object or String which is the id of the element. Since the load more does not have an ID then the move_to_element() could not find the WebElement.
After analysing the web page, I noticed that move_to_element(load_more) moves to the load_more button (only until it is within the screen) but it also triggers scrolling down and that displays the footer of the web page. This footer covers the load_more button. Therefore, you need the browser.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", load_more) which will basically keep scrolling until load_more is in view (regardless of the footer showing up).
