If DL changed the flight timing and significantly reduced your connection time you may find an agent to offer grace. If DL change flight time by more than 90 minutes you can get a refund, per C of C and, more broadly, DOT guidance..
If you bought a connection with 50 minutes timing and now regret it it's all on you, not DL. One sees these threads across FT all the time.
